P.S. Youse Brits sure makes some strange animal noises, ya does!Must've happened during those alcohol-round-the-clock Tudor years, huh?

Loc: Vermont my stepdaughter and I were talking about this yesterday, so I dug up this old thread.
we have several new international members since this thread, so let's revive it!
Anna's (also the name of my stepdaughter!) link is now http://www.bzzzpeek.com/ I believe.
just curious about onomatopoeia in other languages. :¬ )_________________________

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?

Loc: Vermont well, actually, I was thinking more about other sounds, not necessarily just animals. things like "boing" or "ding"._________________________

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Ehmm.. it ìs important to know what produces or evoques the sound.
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'?

Loc: Vermont a bell goes "ding". a metal spring goes "boing". boink the way you use it would be bonk for me, and not really an onomatopoeia._________________________

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Understood. Our bells do not go 'ding'. They go 'bim'.
A metal spring ??? I think it would go 'ploing'.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Yes, like in Feuer or deutsches. Goethe is pronounced slightly different. It should be like in Toynbee. (toying- ploing)
Latisha, what does bell do for you? Phonetically? Or Indonesian, Bingly?
I like the English word squeak as onomatopoeia.
A squeaking parquet floor; that's exactly want it does. Squeak ! Horrible.
