The onomatopoeia thread! ๐Ÿ’ฅ ๐Ÿ—ฏ

I just felt like I forgot about this thread after it started, and when I revisited just before we chatted, I realized I didnโ€™t know how or what to post! :joy: It was just overwhelming a bit. XD

Yes, I realized I come across much more onomatopoeia in the books Iโ€™m reading than I was expecting, so Iโ€™ve added a lot rather quickly. How to post should be straightforward though, thereโ€™s even a very simple template in the OP. :slight_smile:

For sure, I spotted the template. For me, itโ€™s more about whether I think I can contribute or not to a thread, which might not be the case. I certainly canโ€™t offhand name 50 onomatopoeia, but I think I have encountered a lot, especially in all the audio media immersion Iโ€™ve done. Iโ€™ll try to make posts with example sentences going forward! ^>^

Thank you, any contribution is appreciated! I just add them the moment I find them, otherwise Iโ€™ll just forget, and even if I remember, tracking down the exact sentence after the fact can get tedious.
