臭い豆嫌いの英語練習コミュのゲロゲロ＾＿＾

Hi Everyone!

I see we have some new members recently, so don't be shy...hahaha
Everyone is really friendly here and we can talk about anything (but we will not talk about nattou...>,<)

I was talking recently about how American people and Japanese people hear animal sounds differently.
For example:

Cats: 日本語／ニャン
　　　　　英語／ミアウ

　Dogs: 日本語／ワン
　　　　　英語／ウフ

　Frogs: 日本語／ゲロゲロ
　　　　　英語／リッビトリッビト

　Sheep: 日本語／メイ
　　　　　英語／ばああ

　Pigs: 日本語／ブブ
　　　　　英語／オインクオインク

　Duck: 日本語／ガーガー
　　　　　英語／クワッククワック

　I am sure there are many others also!!

　Maybe it's a silly topic but, I am really interested in it!! ^_^
Do you think Japanese animals can talk with english speaking animals??
I want to introduce my cats to some Japanese speaking animals to test it....hehehe

It is also an interesting cultural thing that people hear things so differently!! Why do you think it is??

Hi Kaori,

Yes, dogs are really smart!! Actually my cats too. When I feed the cats in the morning, one of them runs 1 circle around my couch, and then goes to his food bowl. I don't know why...haha
It is just his custom. ^_^

Did I have the pig sound wrong?? ^_^
Ahhh..you are such a good teacher to me.
Actually, one of my friend's has a pig at his house!! Have you seen a pig before?? They are really really cute!!

I wonder about other languages. Probably they all have different sounds also right?

That's a fun topic!!
One day I had a party and there are many people who are from different country. And we talked about this topic.
I do not remember what they sounded like, but I'm sure their sounds are differnt from Japanese animal's sound. It was so interesting and fun. I think I should ask my international friends about this again.

Hi Snoopy and Waka,

Yes, this is really interesting to me too!!

One of my favorite sounds is for something moving fast(like person or machine). We say "Whooosh" ^_^

Another fun one is if you take something from a peson's hands suddenly, we say "yoink!"

I don't know the history of these words, but hey are fun to say. ^_^

Or if you are very angry about something, we often say "arrrgh". But htis one is difficult to say, without sounding like a pirate. So be careful ヘヘ
