Today we learned a lot of words not derived from Kanji. Most of these words are repeated words. The words arose from chapter 7, going to the doctor, but we also got a list of onomatopoeic words for general use. Here are the list of words.
For going to the Doctor:
ぺこぺこ pekopeko - hungry; e.g. "onaka ga peko peko".
がんがん gangan - headache; refers to the sound of blood pounding in the veins of your forehead.
ひりひり hirihiri - pain from being burnt/heat
ぞくぞく zokuzoku - to have chills
むかむか mukamuka - to feel nauseus; e.g. when you have too much to drink, you feel mukamuka
からから karakara - to feel thirsty; e.g. when you've just run a marathon, "nodo ga karakara"
ずきずき zukizuki -pain from teeth (but apparently can also be used for any other pain)
Other repeated words for everyday use:
わいわい waiwai - sound of excited people
きょるきょる kyorukyoru - to look around nervously
にこにこ nikoniko - to smile
びしょびしょ bishobisho - to be wet
いらいら iraira - to be irrated/annoyed
どきどき dokidoki - the sound of a heartbeat
わくわく wakuwaku - to tremble with joy
がらがら garagara - to be nearly empty; e.g. a car's gas tank is garagara if it sits in traffic a lot
ぴかぴか pikapika - to shine/to be well polished
ごちゃごちゃ gochagocha - to be in a mess; a messy state
くしゃくしゃ kushakusha - to be crumpled
ぺらぺら perapera - to chatter
ぎりぎり girigiri - to be very close; on the verge; at the last minute
NOTE: I apologize that these posts are not as colourful as the past ones, but we do have a test on Thursday and not all lessons have been posted or summarized. As well, I haven't done today's homework yet.
