Probably: A 2yo should use 50 or more words, create 2 word expressions (go outside),follow 2 step commands & understand me/you. Only 50% of their speech would be understood by strangers. Frustration is a common behavior if they cannot get their needs/ideas across. If the kid is not speaking s/he should be evaluated by their doc for hearing & development. They should also see a speech specialist.
