Do you still remember the children’s song “Old McDonald Had a Farm”? In this song, we can learn many animal’s sound from dogs to donkeys. When teaching children a new language, we might start from mimicking animal sounds which is easier to remember and pronounce. Indeed, there are some “universal” animal sounds. Take turkey’s sound as an example, it’s “glou glou” in French and Greek, “clou clou” in Spanish, “glu glu” in Turkish. But for some animal sounds, it got some variation across different languages. Let’s take a look, see how various languages interpret the noises that different creatures make around the world.
However, when translating these interesting phrases which interpret the sound; things become not interesting at all, especially for some animal sounds are not universal. We believe that the translating Onomatopoeia article we told before gives you a fully understanding. We hope you likes today’s article and get a free E-quote from Scribers for your next translation!
