It&#039;s a figure of speech that imitates a real sound. It can be from nature, objects, animals, or human actions. For example, thunder becomes &quot;cabrumba.&quot; A clock goes &quot;tick tock tick tock.&quot; It could even be a time bomb. A dog barks &quot;woof woof.&quot; In English, they even say &quot;woof woof.&quot; Flatulence is simply represented by a fart.<\/p>\n<p>All of this is onomatopoeia. Now, what few people realize is that, despite being strongly associated with comic books or silent films, onomatopoeia is much older than writing. It appears way back, in the early days of human communication, when we didn&#039;t yet have vocabulary, but already needed to understand each other.<\/p>\n<p>And the most curious thing is that onomatopoeia often influences our behavior. Have you ever stopped to think about why we say &quot;ouch&quot; when we feel pain or &quot;achoo&quot; when we sneeze? We learn from onomatopoeia. We&#039;ve been conditioned by them. Although not everyone sneezes saying &quot;achoo,&quot; right? I have an uncle who sneezes saying &quot;whiskey.&quot; Now that&#039;s a sneeze with personality, isn&#039;t it? And always, instead of a tissue, he asks for two ice cubes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inventamos as onomatopeias para nos comunicar com sons bem antes das palavras.
