You did not ask for english words only, didn't you? So for the first:
oiseaux (birds in French)
The second could be seen on your face:
or not....

$\begingroup$ 2. No. Smile is 2 syllables, or am I weird? Smi-le $\endgroup$– user17008Commented Jul 21, 2016 at 1:24

4$\begingroup$ "Smile" is generally considered to be one syllable. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 21, 2016 at 3:27

$\begingroup$ @ev3commander that's why I put a link to a page saying smile is considered one-syllable. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 21, 2016 at 5:01

$\begingroup$ The problem is, in French, "Y" is also a vowel. Therefore, your first answer doesn't use all the vowels. Since the OP asked for the 5 vowels, it's safe to say that French language, at least, is excluded. $\endgroup$– MorganFRCommented Jul 21, 2016 at 10:56

Sure there are many possible solutions in a similar vein.
