Onomatopoeia - Onomatopoeia

Japanese: 擬態語 - ぎたいご

Words used to describe states that are not directly related to sound, such as "kirakira" (sparkle), "daradara" (lazy), and "furafura" (flutter). There are many of these in Japanese. They are used alone or with "to" as conjunctive modifiers, and some become adjectival verbs, such as "pittari da" (it's perfect), and some become verbs with "suru" (to be refreshed), such as "sukkiri suru" (to be refreshed). Sometimes they are used as interjections, such as "gakkari" (disappointed) and "dokki" (surprise). (→ Onomatopoeia )

「キラキラ」「ダラダラ」「フラフラ」のように，直接に音響とは関係のない状態を描写するのに用いられる語。日本語には非常に多い。単独で，または「と」を伴って連用修飾語として用いられるほか，「ピッタリだ」のように形容動詞になるものや，「スッキリする」のように「する」を伴って動詞になるものもある。ときには，「ガッカリ」「ドキッ」などのように，間投詞として用いられることもある。 (→擬声語 )
