I don't think Groot is capable of saying anything but "I am Groot".
It would be like your dog looking at you and saying "Give me a milkbone"
It's the flaw of the character (Alongside him looking like a cartoon) that he has vocal chords that can enunciated vowels and consonant but is not able to manipulate them into other words. However, Rocket could understand the translation.
That it's a language of his people and everyone is groot seems goofy.
I would have never deduced Rocket as a father figure. I thought of them more as a Solo & Chewbacca setup, but maybe since he became a baby, it isn't even the same Groot from the first movie and is instead an entirely different Groot since the first one died.
