Onomatopoeia is the use of words that sound like the thing they name. sounds a bit like a snake. Boom sounds a bit like something exploding. Buzz, splash, , bang, and the comic-book crash of BAM and POW all work this way. We also use the word for the words themselves: is an example of onomatopoeia. You will meet it in language class and in talk about poems, ads, and comics. Children love the sound-words long before they learn this long name. Though actually, not every word that "feels like" its meaning counts. Glow and tiny feel right in the mouth, but they do not copy a sound. That is a looser trick. True onomatopoeia a noise. Languages also invent different sound-words for the same noise: a dog is woof in English and 汪汪 in Chinese, so the copy is never a perfect tape recording. Say on-uh-mat-uh-PEE-uh.
