»American Cats Say "Meow"...How About Yours?«
|

|
It has come to my attention that certain cats and dogs from non-English speaking countries have been making noises which are incompatible with American standards. Our dogs say "Bow-wow" or "Ruff" and our cats say "Meow"...the way it should be...if you are not American, what do cats and dogs say in your country? I am just curious...though this may figure into our invasion plans when America gets around to bringing about a "regime change" in your country...

 holy_of_holies: Our dogs say "Bow-wow" or "Ruff" Oh ours aren't so civilized.. sometimes the "bow" and the "wow" get mixed.. and sometimes it's a "b-rrru-ow.." and sometimes a "rrr..." holy_of_holies: our cats say "Meow" How tame.. ours go "miaaaaiaiaiaw" if angry and "mewn" (ends nasally) when cosy. holy_of_holies: It has come to my attention that certain cats and dogs from non-English speaking countries have been making noises which are incompatible with American standards. Boring stereotypes.. gets on my nerves ..holy_of_holies: though this may figure into our invasion plans when America gets around to bringing about a "regime change" in your country Rahly.. when an Italian woman politely declined the Prime Ministership and gave it to a traditional looking forward-minded Muslim, and the Presidency is occupied by a boat-driver fashionista with nearly 30 doctorates.. at least we have a more interesting regime than you  holy_of_holies: This cat says, "RANJANI!" No no, Panthers are more like that..

cat - nyaao ; (purring) gorogoro
dog - wan-wan ; (growling) uuuu mouse - chuu-chuu horse - hi-hiin cow - moo sheep - mee-mee pig - buu-buu chicken - (clucking) kokkokko rooster crowing - kokekokkoo duck - gaa-gaa sparrow - chun-chun owl - hoo-hoo fox - kon-kon elephant - paoon monkey - kyakkyaa These are interesting because Japanese as a language does not have as many different and distinct sounds or "phonemes" as some western languages, and a lot of what is said is based on intonation, pitch, or context. So some of these sounds are actually Japanese words as well. posted by holy_of_holies |

 Guess I'll post for Israel. Cats: Um... "Meow", pronounced in one syllable, so it sounds like "myow". Dogs: "How-how" or "Hav-hav". Roosters: "Kookooreekoo" Pain: "ay-ya!" - a mild blasphemy ("oh, God!") Sneeze: "Apchee". Not sure exactly where that one came from... posted by Sharaith |

 "dog - wan-wan " -Japanese I suspect that this is similar to the pronunciation of a dog's bark in Chinese... so it should be more like "wung- wung" Cat is the same: meow Sharaith: Pain: "ay-ya!" - a mild blasphemy ("oh, God!") In Chinese we say that too, except it's not for pain -- it's an expression that can mean several different things if you pronounce it with a different tone of voice. For example if you say "ay- ya!" it kind of means "Oh no!" if it's more like "ay-yaaaa..." it mieans more a "tsk, tsk ,tsk" or "aw man" or "oh goodness...*sigh*" Sometimes we add a little "way-ya" at the end, for zest and rhyme I guess (I really have no clue ) so it ends up like this "ay-ya-way-ya"
I don't know what it means -- maybe it comes from the Israelites? (I never knew that Israelites influenced Chinese culture... ) posted by nocturnal_anonymous |

Heh. That would be some trek. I think it's probably just that there are only so many syllables available for exclaimations in any alphabet. Does it actually mean anything in Chinese? posted by Sharaith |
