Find out here! http://www.flat33.com/bzzzpeek/index1.html (it didn't work in my older Netscape but functions beautifully in IE) Top #99056 - 03/20/03 08:27 AM Re: multilingual onomatopoeia Buffalo Shrdlu Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/24/02 Posts: 6685 Loc: Vermont that's a fun site, Anna! thanks for sharing. for Mozilla users: don't try to open in a new tab, it will close your main window. just click the link.

Thanks for posting it "upstairs", or I might've missed it! Now I know there was a reason I decided to bring that Sneeze/Yawn thread back up instead of just linkin' it! P.S. Youse Brits sure makes some strange animal noises, ya does! Must've happened during those alcohol-round-the-clock Tudor years, huh?

Anna's (also the name of my stepdaughter!) link is now http://www.bzzzpeek.com/ I believe. just curious about onomatopoeia in other languages. :¬ ) Top #185260 - 06/10/09 11:55 AM Re: multilingual onomatopoeia [Re: Buffalo Shrdlu] BranShea Carpal Tunnel Registered: 06/23/06 Posts: 3725 Loc: Netherlands, the Hague May I suggest you name an animal and add the English onomatopoeia so the outlanders could add the comparative sound-word?

Is 'boing' not an interjection? We have a 'boink' and use it when people, specially children, bump their head, or when they drop a heavy object. What does 'ding'?
