개굴개굴 개구리 노래를 한다

아들 손자 며느리 다아 모여서

밤새도록 하여도 듣는 이 없네

듣는사람 없어도 날이 밝도록

Quero-quero (kerokero), but in Brazil

As usual, the Germans are fucking wrong. That's what ducks sound like dumb asses!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

It's just differently written but the sound is correct

How frogs sound in french -

"Bonjour"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I like croak way better as the English representation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

croak is the term for the sound, ribbit is the onomatopeia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Oddly enough croak is likely also onomatopoeia (imitative)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Yeah "ribbit" is a bit like bow wow. Someone find me a dog that says bow wow and I'll find you an honest man in congress.

There's a Julia Donaldson - Axel Scheffler children's book called "Charlie Cook's Favorite Book" in which the sound a frog makes is "reddit".

Forgot the best one.

The French have a few examples of naming things the way they sound. Their word for bullfrog is the sound they make:

Ouaouaron

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How is that pronounced? wow-wow-rohn?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Correct

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

A beautiful word we learned from the first nations, probably the Wendat.

Kero Kero

FROPPY!

Amphibians are so sick. My parents made a little fish pond like ten years ago and of all the cool things to visit/reside in it over the years the frogs are the coolest by far.

COQUI - Spanish

Interesting, I say CROAC. Probably there's a lot of geographical variation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

That’s the name of a frog common to Puerto Rico, it makes a sound just like it’s name

I just realised Finnish doesn't have an onomatopoetic frog sound 🤔

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

I'm trying to think about the French one and nothing comes to mind either...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Does this correlate to the sounds that the different species of frogs in those regions make?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Exactly what i was thinking, it would be like asking people what a bird sounds like and getting completely different results from different locales.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

Hmm I thought we all know frogs go La De Da De Da?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago (2 children)
