90 [✐1,2] heto heto... Onomatopoeia + Shadowing
[✐1. Adagio, 2.Andante] Onomatopoeia
“Every day, I’m totally tired.”
[00:07]
Hello everyone. We will practice onomatopoeia* today. The conversation will become more fun.
*Onomatopoeia = A word that expresses various states and movements with sound, including a sensory expression, although the sound is not actually heard.
Even the same onomatopoeia has different meanings depending on the context; e.g. “peko peko” could mean 1) “very hungry”, or 2) “be very humble” or “touch one’s forelock” = “He apologized humbly. / He apologized over and over again.”
Repeat after me
[00:16]
1. I’m very hungry.
→ peko peko = really hungry
2. I ate a lot.
→ pan pan = ate a lot and I’m stuffed
3. It’s raining a lot.
→ zaa zaa = pouring down
4. I’m very busy now.
→ bata bata = being busy
5. I’m very tired today.
→ heto heto = be exhausted
[01:24]
Now I will ask you a question, so please repeat the answer.
[01:29]
For example,
Have you already eaten?
→ Not yet. I’m peko peko (hungry).
Ready?
[01:37]
1. Have you eaten breakfast?
→ Not yet. I’m awfully hungry.
2. Would like to have a refill?
→ I’m full. I’m stuffed.
3. It rained a lot this morning, didn’t it?
→ You’re right. It was pouring.
4. You look busy.
→ Yes, I’ve been hectic since this morning.
5. Moving today was a lot of work, wasn’t it?
→ Yes, I’m totally worn out.
[02:54]
Next is onomatopoeia related to clothing.
Repeat after me
[02:59]
1. This outfit is baggy.
2. The jacket is shabby/crumpled/stringy
3. These shoes are too big (for me).
4. The Jeans are too tight to wear.
5. This T-shirts is super tight.
