DJ Legionpony 5 January 13, 2014 Share January 13, 2014 As I've studied Japanese, my favorite quirk of it is the large amount of onomatopoeia and sounds you can't explain in one word of English. From "Garigari"(scratching sound) to "Bokun"(breaking of a rigid object), there are many words that are quite interesting. Do you have a favorite one? What's the strangest one you've discovered? Do tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frith is Magick 1,471 February 22, 2014 Share February 22, 2014 Pachipachi (applause). Back when I was in Japanese class a couple of people started saying it whenever they applauded. It soon spread to the rest of the class, and to this day, I can't clap without thinking (and sometimes even saying) "pachi pachi pachi". 2 Keep flyin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Old Head 4,816 February 22, 2014 Share February 22, 2014 I think バンバン, or ban-ban, to talk about a gunshot is just adorable. And funny - the noise of shooting being made to sound cute goes against its intention 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,689 February 22, 2014 Share February 22, 2014 ニャンニャン meaning the sound of a cat meowing: nyan-nyan sounds so adorable. It is too cute that it can get anyone's attention. 2 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutemutt 773 February 22, 2014 Share February 22, 2014 じぃーっ (Jiiii). The sound of the stare. Very useful when your friend does something incredibly weird and you want to let them know that you saw everything. Also useful for those times where you don't believe a word they're saying; no words necessary, just give them the stare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
