make up words

Does your kid make up words? I have an almost-4 year old and she likes to make up words. Could this be because she doesn't know how to say exactly what she wants to say? If so, what are ways I can help improve her vocabulary?

My 2.5 year old makes up words Everyday. She tells me she’s speaking Japanese. It’s quite funny actually. Today she said mama, tolong papi poopa- she says its Japanese for I am happy. Lol
