Onomatopoeia refers to words that imitate or resemble the sound they describe. These words can convey auditory sensations in a vivid way, making them effective in poetry, literature, and everyday speech. Examples of onomatopoeia include:

  • Buzz (the sound of a bee)
  • Splash (the sound of something hitting water)
  • Crash (the sound of a collision)
  • Chirp (the sound made by small birds or insects)
  • Woof (the sound a dog makes)
  • Meow (the sound a cat makes)

Onomatopoeic words can add texture and emotion to language, enhancing the reader's or listener's experience.
