Study Challenge Day 10: Reading!
For today's study challenge, I'm using a book that a friend gave to me!
Not only is this book super cute, but it also uses a lot of mimetic words (see examples in the pictures below) to help describe sounds! I love learning all of these little words, so here's a list of words I ran across in just the first chapter!
Mimetic Words
콕콕 = poking
벌떡 = sudden movement (sitting up/turning/etc.)
쌔앵 (쌩) = run quickly/strong wind
으아악 = ahhhhh!
반짝 = twinkling (for small things)
끄으응 = sound of using strength (like 영차/으차)
쏴아 = sound of heavy rain
주르륵 = crying tears/sound of water trickling in a very small stream (like a stream of water down a window, not an actual stream)
킁킁 = sniffing
탁 = sound of something hitting a flat surface (like running on the ground/slapping a table/face palm/etc.)
보글보글 = sound of something boiling/bubbling
쿵쿵 = object falling loudly (a large object; like "thunk")
치이익 = sound of something sizzling/frying in a pan
위이잉 (웡) = sound of a machine working
폴짝 = something small bouncing (like on a trampoline)
헉 = sound of surprise
덜덜 = shivering
스으윽 (슥) = movement (but like a subtle movement)
하아악 = hissing (for cats)
할짝 = licking
화악 = sudden action for intangible things (the light get bright, a person's face lights up/etc.)
덥석 = grabbing something suddenly
Of course, these mimetics are all within the context of my book and are rather hard to nail down perfectly via words, but I think this still gets the general idea across!
And that's all for today (and today's challenge)! Study well, y'all! :)
