[✐2.Andante, 3.Moderato] Onomatopoeia

“It’s humid (sticky) and hot, isn’t it?”

[00:07]

Hello everyone. How are you doing? We will practice onomatopoeia today. Please try also JS 90.

Note: オノマトペ =  A word that expresses various states and movements with sound, including a sensory expression, although the sound is not actually heard.

Even the same onomatopoeia has different meanings depending on the context; e.g. “peko peko” could mean 1) “very hungry”, or 2) “be very humble” or “touch one’s forelock” = “He apologized humbly. / He apologized over and over again.”

[00:18]

First, let’s do on weather. How is the weather? Listen to the onomatopoeia ♫, then repeat the sentence.

Repeat after me

[00:27]

1. za-za-

→ It’s pouring.

2. para para

→ It’s sprinkling.

3. byu-byu-

→ The wind is blowing/wuthering.

4. poka poka

→ It’s warm and feel nice.

5. mushi mushi

→ it’s muggy / very humid.

[01:34]

It’s really muggy in summer in Japan. I will get sweaty!

[01:43]

Now, make a sentence using the hints.

For example,

It rained really heavily yesterday, didn’t it?

[hint] indeed, za-za-

→ Indeed, it was pouring.

Ready?

[02:01]

1. It’s hot today again, isn’t it?

[hint] indeed, mushimushi

→  Indeed, it’s muggy.

2. Spring has come. What a pleasant weather.

[hint]   indeed, pokapoka

→  Indeed. It’s warm and feel nice.

3. It was so windy yesterday.

[hint]   byu-byu-

→ It was wuthering, wasn’t it?

4. Is it raining there?

[hint]   yes, za-za-

→ Yes, it’s pouring.

5. Is it raining there?

[hint]   yes, but, para para

→ Yes, but it’s just drizzling.

[03:51]

It’s just drizzling at the moment, so let’s go home before it turns into heavy rain.
