Compared to other languages, the Japanese language has many onomatopoeias and mimetic words. There are possibly more than 10,000 such terms, which are frequently used in both written and spoken language, and they are essential for conveying nuances. This book introduces onomatopoeias that play an extremely important role in Japanese society, with a special focus on carefully chosen fundamental terms. The terms are divided into four sections based the following categories: "Used together with verbs", "Expresses the characteristics of an action or a change", "Expresses or emphasizes the state of something", and "Expresses a mental state." From there, they are divided into pairs or groups by themes. Finally, each term is examined individually. Illustrated references and conversational examples taken from daily life help you study effectively.. Includes English translations, romanized characters, a CD, and recordings to download.
