Onomatopoeia is when a word's pronunciation imitates the sound it describes. An example of onomatopoeia is the word "buzz" because the sound of bees buzzing is captured through the pronunciation of the word.
The word "onomatopoeia" is an example of onomatopoeia because its pronunciation resembles the sound it describes - the formation of a word from a sound associated with what is named.
No- its true
No, "clasped" is not an onomatopoeia. An onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. "Clasped" does not mimic any sound.
Cassiopeia, the constellation and goddess of Greek mythology, rhymes with "onomatopoeia." The word "orange" is famous for having no exact rhymes.
No, "mash" is not an onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes, such as "buzz" or "hiss." "Mash" is a verb that means to crush or squeeze something with force, and its pronunciation does not directly imitate any sound.
Oh yes, of course! There are many examples of onomatopoeia in "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle." For example splash!... I think. But, i'm sure there are many others in every chapter.:)
The AU spelling is from a Latin root, while the pronunciation is from the Old English, which was the onomatopoeia word hlæhhan (the root of the German word lachen).
Yelled is not an onomatopoeia:)
Yes it is an onomatopoeia
'Sois franc'
Yes, adding "ed" to an onomatopoeia does not change its classification as onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate the sound they represent, and adding "-ed" still reflects a sound.
