Japanese Onomatopoeia 1: Kacha Gacha 擬音語: カチャ ガチャ

[westinmiyako]

Hi. I'm really intrested in this topic, thank you! Would you mind explaining how to use them in sentences please?

[starletshay]

@westinmiyako Ah, in sentences too? Ok...i'll keep that mind for the next video!

[westinmiyako]

@starletshay Blimey, that was a quick response. Thank you. Yeah, if you have time that would be great coz japanese people use onomatopoeia all the time. We learnt a few in class but not many. But learning them and knowing how to apply them are two different things. Anyway, if you are too busy, just knowing what they mean is useful, thanks.

@westinmiyako Oh boy...I sure hope I remember now! LoL.

This is an excellent subject. I know animal sounds are strangely different in different languages. The sounds mimic animal sounds in odd ways. Good subject for a linguistic study. Yokomaririn uses "Dong" when presenting her subject for her videos. I need to ask her what Dong means or if it is a presentation sound like "wa la."

[starletshay]

@PhilT65 Thanks for the idea! I'll do one on animal sounds too!

Interesting. I did not know Kacha and Gacha were part of the Japanese Language. What is the Onomatopoeia for Hello? The ending to your videos is cute

[starletshay]

@tokyo383 Onomatopoeia for "Hello"?
