Shuwa-Shuwa & 99 Illustrated Japanese Onomatopoeias

Description

You are interested in the Japanese language, so you must have come across words like « Shuwa-Shuwa », « Hoka-Hoka », « Pika-Pika ». These are japanese onomatopoeias. They are used everywhere : mangas, animes, everyday talk. There are more in the Japanese language than in any other. More than 4000! They are classified into five categories. Those which imitate sounds or noises and which really correspond to the onomatopoeias of other languages : the Giseigo, for people and animals and the Giongo, for the rest. Those which are quite specific to Japanese and express states, Gitaïgo, feelings, Gijougo, movements, Giyougo. In this book, a family work of 18 months, Maïté & Maceo, as little heroes drawn in each of the nearly 100 illustrations of the book, will present you these fun and poetic Japanese words!
