Korean Sound Words

멍멍, 반짝반짝, 두근두근 — words that sound like what they mean.

Korean is full of words that copy a sound (a dog's 멍멍) or paint a movement or feeling (a twinkling 반짝반짝, a pounding-heart 두근두근). Most come in doubled pairs. Each page gives the meaning, when people use it, an example and an English match when one exists.
