5 Examples of OnomatopoeiaThe concept of onomatopoeia words can be difficult to understand without examples. Examplesgive you the chance to better understand the onomatopoeia concept and to see and sound out actual

words.

This article lists five categories of onomatopoeic words with several examples of each. The list

includes words with letter combinations that are commonly used to represent certain sounds. It isntan exhaustive list of onomatopoeic words, but its a good start to understand the onomatopoeia

concept.

Common Onomatopoeia Letter Combinations

Many times, you can tell what an onomatopoeic word is describing based on letter combinations

contained within the word. These combinations usually come at the beginning, but a few also come

at the end.

The following examples have been grouped according to how they are used.


5/48

1. Words Related to Water These words often begin with sp- or dr-. Words that indicate a smallamount of liquid often end in -le (sprinkle/drizzle).

splash

spray

sprinkle

drip drizzle

An onomatopoeia poem by Lee Emmett of Australia also illustrates many onomatopoeia related to

water:

water plops into pond

splish-splash downhill

warbling magpies in tree

trilling, melodic thrill

whoosh, passing breeze

flags flutter and flap

frog croaks, bird whistles

babbling bubbles from tap

2. Words Related to the Voice Sounds that come from the back of the throat tend to start with agr- sound whereas sounds that come out of the mouth through the lips, tongue and teeth begin withmu-.

giggle

growl

grunt

gurgle

mumble

murmur

bawl

belch

chatter

blurt

3. Words Related to Collisions Collisions can occur between any two or more objects. Soundsthat begin with cl- usually indicate collisions between metal or glass objects, and words that end in-ng are sounds that resonate. Words that begin with th- usually describe dull sounds like soft but

heavy things hitting wood or earth.

bam

bang clang

clank


6/48

clap

clatter

click

clink

ding

jingle

screech

slap

thud

thump

4. Words Related to Air Because air doesnt really make a sound unless it blows throughsomething, these words describe the sounds of air blowing through things or of things rushing

through the air. 'Whisper' is on this list and not the voice list because we do not use our voices to

whisper. We only use the air from our lungs and the position of our teeth, lips and tongues to formaudible words.

flutter

whoosh

whizz

whip

whisper

5. Animal Sounds If youve spent significant amounts of time with people from other countries,you know thatanimals speak different languages too. Depending on where a chicken is from, for

example, she might cluck-cluck, bok-bok, tok-tok, kot-kot or cotcotcodet. In the United States,

however, animals speak English:

arf

baa

bark

bray

buzz

cheep

chirp

chortle

cluck

cock-a-doodle-doo

cuckoo

hiss

meow

moo

neigh

oink

"Chug, chug, chug. Puff, puff, puff. Ding-dong, ding-dong. The little train rumbled over the

tracks."("Watty Piper" [Arnold Munk], The Little Engine That Could)

"Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is." (slogan of Alka Seltzer, U.S.)

"Onomatopoeia every time I see ya

My senses tell me hubba

And I just can't disagree.

I get a feeling in my heart that I can't describe. . .

It's sort of whack, whir, wheeze, whine

Sputter, splat, squirt, scrape

Clink, clank, clunk, clatter

Crash, bang, beep, buzz

Ring, rip, roar, retch

Twang, toot, tinkle, thud

Pop, plop, plunk, pow

(Todd Rundgren, "Onomatopoeia")

What Is Onomatopoeia?

The word 'onomatopoeia' comes from the combination of two Greek words, one meaning 'name'and the other meaning 'I make,' so onomatopoeia literally means 'the name (or sound) I make.' That

is to say that the word means nothing more than the sound it makes. 'Boing,' for example, meansnothing more than what it sounds like. It is only a sound effect.

Many onomatopoeic words have come to mean other things related to the sounds they make. 'Slap,'

for instance, not only means the sound that is made by skin hitting skin, but also the action of

hitting someone (usually on the face) with an open hand. 'Rustle' is the sound of papers brushingtogether, but it also indicates the action of someone moving papers around and causing them to

brush together, thus making this noise. And of course, 'twitter' is now much more than just thesound birds make.

8/48

Reviewing examples of onomatopoeia words and their various sound categories is an excellent way

to learn to recognize and understand onomatopoeic words. Look for the patterns that almost alwaysexist, and if you ever have a question about what an onomatopoeic word means, just ask yourself,

'What does it sound like?'
