「ワクワク」「キラキラ」「ザラザラ」は音からよりも、日本語の言葉からきています 「ワクワク」は、興味(きょうみ)が湧(わ)く 「キラキラ」は、煌(きら)めいている 「ザラザラ」は、粗目(ざらめ)なもの 粗目とは、期目(きめ)が粗(あら)い、ことです このように日本語からきてるものも多くあるため全て理解はなかなか大変ですが、日本人からしてもなかなかおもしろいと思います

キラキラに関しては「清ら清ら」が縮まったものというのが定説ですね。 なので煌めくは逆にキラキラを動詞化した可能性が高いです。 いずれにせよ音でなく一般語からオノマトペになった言葉なので理解は難しいと思いますが。

My favourite is ふわふわ (fuwa-fuwa) which means something soft and light. For example, "this bed is fuwa-fuwa." You can use is to a person whose mind is always somewhere else.

Come to think about it, fuwa-fuwa might not be onomatopoeia, as it's supposed to imitate a sound.

How about "hono bono"? Is that also an onomatopoeia? Can we still call it an onomatopoeia even if it's not a sound?

Don't forget doki doki. It technically means exciting but comes from sound of heart beats

You two are adorable!! Thanks for this video, anything to help me in learning Japanese is fantastic. I'm studying extra hard as I'm moving there in around 80 days! I'm so excited. Will check out the website too :)

I love these kind of vids, I would like to see more words and phrases. Also the snack videos are amazing with you and Mimei :)

I've got a note book in which I write all the new kanji, expressions, phrases, and words that I learn. Now I just added these onomatopoeia! Thanks!

Thanks for another insightful vid.

you two make such a great team! I'd love to see more vids with you together :)

Oh yeah, my favorite words. I absolutely can't remember them no matter how many years I study. :D I was told to study with books for kids, that really helps a lot.

Metatron Because the KZread comment section is laaaaame :( I can't even unmark it because it doesn't show up in the "Marked as Spam" list.... ugh, lol. Half of the normal comments get marked as spam and sometimes I have time to go through them and unmark them, but sometimes I don't get around to it and then those comments won't even show up. It's pretty crappy. Miss the old commenting system. :/

Thank you for enlightening me!

パクパクは擬音語じゃなくて 擬態語だと思います。 口を開け閉めしてる様を表現してるんだと思います。 「鯉が口をパクパクさせて餌を食べる」みたいな。

擬音語と擬態語があるんですが誰か教えてあげて

Two of my favourite stars in the same video. NICE!

Learning something new about Japan is awesomness

I just saw this one and really enjoyed it! I like having learning mixed with fun!

That was a very interesting video. Love watching your videos.

Yeah Rachel and Sharla together, I love you so much girls

There are two type of onomatopoia in Japan, onomatopoia(擬音語; ぎおんご) and mimetic words(擬態語; ぎたいご). Mimetic words express movements or conditions symbolically by vary words. PAKUPAKU expresses the opening and shutting of a mouth. KARAKARA means something dry. WAKUWAKU is being excited for antipation or joy. Sounds are not related to mimetic words.

24歳の日本人ですが、こんな使い方しますよ~ 日本語がわからなくてもオノマトペとジェスチャーで大体伝えられます^^ kara-kara - 喉が乾いている goro-goro - 大きな物が転がっている, or 雷の音がする peko-peko - お腹がすごく空いている huka-huka - やわらかい(パン, 布団など) peta-peta - 触ってしっとりする時 オノマトペ + 感情だけで会話ができます！ examples) ・喉がkara-kara! ・goro-goroしてるね~ ・お腹peko-peko! ・huka-hukaで気持ち良い! ・peta-petaしてて気持ち悪い〜 僕も英会話ができるようになりたいです >

This is so fun!!!

This subject intrigued me much! I tried to come up at least one set per each sound from アイウエオ. I could come up almost every A.I.U.E.O. sound, like あれあれ、いろいろ、うきうき、えんえん（延々ーendless), おりおり（ 折々ーtime to time），etc and it's fun to recover them from my old memories.　probably I could come up at least hundred of them easily. It's a fun to do this for me since I am an old-timer Japanese living in a foreign society, not using Japanese at all most of the day. Thanks for this interesting idea.

Ooooh this is toooo much. I can't take it! ! My two favs. Moooore please!!

Ya'll 2 did a great job ✅

Sharla just saw you in a wong fu video good job!!!!!!

Haha! Interesting to see!

wow. nice

いつも興味深く見てます。 オノマトペって、子供向けの童謡、唱歌だと、入りやすいしたくさんありますよね。 キラキラ星「きらきらひかる お空の星よ」 春の小川「春の小川は、さらさら行くよ」 あめふりくまのこ「ちょろちょろ、小川ができました」 めだかの学校「水に流れて、つーいつい」 雪「雪やこんこ あられやこんこ」 おうま「ぽっくりぽっくり歩く」 その他汽車ポッポ、ことりのうた、雨降りお月さん、あめふり、虫のこえ、ぶんぶんぶん、などなど。 個人的には、 さとうきび畑「ざわわ、ざわわ、ざわわ、広いさとうきび畑は」 なんかが好きなオノマトペです。本来は「ざわざわ」で騒がしい感じを現すのですが、あえて「ざわわ」としている所がなんとも神秘的な雰囲気(実際のざわざわ騒がしい音と共に、本来は聞こえることのない音なき声)を出していると思います。 あと、まったく関係ないことですが、今度は「歳時記(季寄せ)」(いわゆる季語)なんかも取り上げていただけたらな、と思います。俳句は世界で一番短い詩と言われていますが、この季語がすべての世界観を担っていると言っても過言ではないです。そしてこの季語が日本の文化に深く根付いているのです。つまり季語を紐解くと、日本人の思考を理解する手助けにもなると思います。

Sharla your Japanese is really good!!!!!

Onomatopoeia are so fun! it's a good way to sound more like a native speaker as well :333

Hahaha, I love it! Gorogoro is really stuck in my memory because my downstairs neighbor (when I was still living in Saitama) sent a formal complaint that I was making "gorogoro" and "katakata"sounds... at a time where I wasn't even home! Maybe the WTF Factor is just as strong as mnemonic devices. (^^);;; As always, I love your videos!

arabic has something like this, where the particle will be repeated to represent a sound, for example: bar-bara is "loud chatter", ghar-ghara is "gurgling water", tab-tab is when you knock on something hollow and it makes a drum-like sound XD of the japanese onomatopoeiaiaiaiia that showed in the video, i like gorogoro the most (rolling around in bed aww yee) also, thanks for actually saying the word onomatopoeia i've never heard it pronounced before, i realized i've been saying it wrong all this time! #english_learner_problems

Very nice video ^^

ゴロゴロなんかは時と場合によって結構変わるね。 お腹がゴロゴロするとか雷がゴロゴロとか、家でゴロゴロとか。

スゴく面白いです！！今一年間の留学でアメリカに住んでいるのですが、逆にオノマトペなさすぎて困ってます笑

tell really exciting stories and use these phrases to emphasize like sounds and such ..like what people do when they tell a scary story ~

Interesting that Japanese onomatopoeia is also about feelings or ideas, not strictly sounds. Like waku waku, jiro jiro, kira kira and etc. Like someone said "if these things had sounds they'd sound like... " It's an interesting way of thinking about things, so I like it.

Nihon go really does my head in sometimes.

You are talented in learning other lamguages.

My grandparents came to the US from Japan. We used to call those words "Baby talk" I remember bocha bocha for splashing, and pika pika for sparkly. And I remember the one for rolling around.

you guys are so cool together they all sound the same to me thanks for the website

Japanese onomatopoeia is so strange but at the same time really interesting! Haha! I can only remember "zara zara" and "sara sara" out of all the ones that were said throughout this video. xD

The one I'm most familiar with is カンカン. That's what my Japanese teacher would become after a week of oral exams.

面白かった 日本語堪能なSharlaさんでもわりとメジャーなものでも通じないのにはびっくり 授業などではなく生活の中で身についていくようなものだから機会が少なすぎるのかもしれませんね 逆に英語のオノマトペも機会があれば是非

yeay :D good vid!

日本語にはなぜ擬音語が多いか知ってますか？ ある学者の研究によると、日本人は音を左脳で聞いて、他のほとんどの外国人は音を右脳で聞いているからだそうです。左脳は言語に関係しています。 なので、日本人は虫の声を聞くと「チンチロリン」とか「スイッチョスイッチョ」というカタカナの言葉として表現し、風鈴の音を聞くと「チリーンチリーン」と表現するのですが、外国人にはそれらの音は雑音にしか聞こえず、言葉として表現するのがむずかしい、ということみたいです。 擬態語も、おそらく日本人にとって擬音語の延長のようなもので、目で見ている状態を「モジモジ」とか「ソワソワ」という音に変換して頭の中で聞いているのではないでしょうか。 しかし日本人以外の外国人でも、シャーラさんのように長く日本に住んで日本語環境の中で暮らしていると、だんだん音を左脳で聞くようになるそうですよ。シャーラさん、もう風鈴の声は聞こえるようになった？

I lived in an area where my public schools had us learn Japanese every year so I learned Japanese since Elementary School till now ( college ) and Although I can have some pretty good conversations, I can not read because of Kanji! I can not read Kanji! There are so many onomatopoeias and I remember always trying to use them in everything in elementary school. I have lost a lot of Japanese because I don't use it unless I go to Japan for visit.

Ahhh this is a great idea! I always get tripped up...but PAKU PAKU is my favorite! It's a terrible pun but I used to say いただきパク in an attempt to be cutesy before eating. (Was never appreciated!!...i wonder why) Haha.(；・∀・) I think that was back in the morning musume days though when everything was よろピク and other punny stuff.

Hi my name sharla and I have told u on my dad's computer a very long time ago and I really luvvvvvv japan cuss of you and I haven't watch you for along time

I got "May you have great luck" I cried when I got it. My family really needs good luck after 18 years bad luck. Most recent was 2yrs ago when I had 2 of my sons were violently beaten and robbed on a train in 2013. So to get good luck would be so welcome
