What is an Onomatopoeia?

A word that sounds like what it represents such as “buzz “or “hiss”

Onomatopoeia is the naming of a thing or action by imitation of natural sounds e.g. meow, oink, buzz etc.

An onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. In simpler terms, it's a word that sounds like the noise it represents. Common examples include "buzz," "crash," "meow," "sizzle," and "splash." Onomatopoeic words are frequently used in literature, poetry, comics, and everyday language to evoke auditory sensations or describe sounds vividly.

Onomatopoeia is a literary device where a word imitates the sound it represents. Here are some examples:

• Bang! - a loud and heavy noise.
• Buzz - a humming, vibrating noise (like the sound of a bee)
• Pop! - a short and sharp burst of noise.

These are words that you can essentially hear, and they help to create vivid imagery in writing.

Hi Dolores! The are words that sound as they are spelt. For example, 'boom' or 'meow' are onomatopoeia words because they sound the same when we say them as the noise they are trying to express.

It is when a word sounds like the noise being described e.g. Whoosh, bang, crash...

BOOM! One of my favourite questions.

Onomatopoeia is a word that actually looks like the sound it makes and we can almost hear those sounds as we read it. An example is an explosion goes BOOM!
