Onomatopoeia

4/17/2017

1 Comment

 
Onomatopoeia (on-oh-mah-toe-pea-uh) might just be as hard to define as it is to say, but it certainly is among the most fun words out there. 

What it means is the words that sound like their sound they define.  Oh, boy, I've probably lost you! I think it best that I give you some examples. 

BOOM! POP! MOO! OINK! SIZZLE! WHOOSH! CLANG! DING! BEEP! SMACK! VROOM! ZONK! CRUNCH! BOO!

There . . . I'm sure it all makes sense, now. When you say these words, they sound like the sound that they make. Get it? Got it? Good!

​Onomatopoeia
 makes writing and illustrating more fun, vibrant, and action-filled.

And, besides all that, where else can you find a word that has twice as many vowels (8) as consonants (4), with four of the vowels together?

I am not that good when it comes to language, so you need to help me out here. I hope that I do not cause you any trouble, but I just really need to ace my test. I am going to fail my subject if I flunk the next test. I have been reading your blog since morning and I believe that I learned a lot already. Please, if you have the time, come over here and tutor me about this subject.

    I am Becky Lyn Rickman. I am a writer because I love words almost as much as I love the people in my life. I want to fill the world with magnificent words and then jump in and splash around in them. I live with Mr. Bingley and Mr. Darcy, my cats, but the only words they really love are "meat" and "gravy."
