ぽたぽた (as in) moving slowly
I just learned it while playing FLOWERS on switch last night.
I’m dyslexic so I have a terrible time with onomatopoeias lol
躊躇う
躊躇
Hesitation, indecision
あれこれ考えて迷う

From playing the first case of the original Ace Attorney: 置き時計
It’s specifically a clock you would place on something, as opposed to a watch. And it’s pronounced おきどけい. I love that.
You and me both. I have no excuse, but onomatopoeia are just really tough!
Like a mouse (鼠) that roars?
いびき
鼾
snore
I saw this on a Japanese program about sleep problems.
Just recently learned ゆったり
It can mean
1. Comfortable, easy, relaxed
e.g. ゆったりした時間 A relaxing time
and it can refer to clothes
2. Loose, spacious (of course it can also mean relaxed clothing too)
e.g. ゆったりワンピ Loose dress
A related word with pretty much the same meaning is ゆっくり, although I don’t think ゆっくり can refer to clothing.
今の仕事がちょっと安定したらゆっくりする
Good question. I always thought ゆっくり refers to the way of doing things - slowly, leisurely

お冠(おかんむり)- a bad temper or a bad mood
腕が立つ - talented, able (standing on arms? )
水面下 - underwater, but also “behind the scenes” (in secrecy)
星空 - starry sky
i’ve had the Your Lie theme stuck in my head for a while, and it clicked after learning the vocab reading for star today (ほし) : )
突拍子もない - とっぴょうしもない
meaning something crazy, like psychedelic fever dream crazy.
自己防衛 - じこぼうえい
self-defense
I mean, you gotta have skills to handstand, right?
Burping in onomatopoeia is the same sound as frogs according to at least one person ケロケロゲロゲロ

Appears in season 1 of Code Geass

当て逃げ
Hit and run
一人前 - coming of age (interesting reading overall: いちにんまえ)
As an expression: 一人前になる
EDIT: fixed so it’s clearer what I meant
