Onomatopoeia are words that sound like sounds. You would think that they would translate well from language to language. If that's the case, try taking the test below. Translate the sounds into the English equivalents. I'll do the first one. To see the answers, highlight the text.
pushin - snap
tonton - knock knock
buu - beep
gon gon - ding dong
fura fura - wobble wobble
chirin chirin - ting a ling
gohon gohon - cough cough
hikku - hic
musha musha - munch munch
kan - crack
pon pon - pop pop
riin - ring
kashan - crash
kii - squeak
pashaa - splash
gagagaga - rat-tat-tat
pachi pachi - clap clap
goku goku - gulp gulp
How many did you get right? Isn't it interesting? If I can find a list of animal sounds, I'll do those as well.
