Animal Noises

smilingcrazylady [Edit] [Delete] 58 replies 15:57, 9 March '07

Hello, have you ever thought about animal noises varying between countries?! Well they do. I have run a study on a Danish and a Cro-at. Here are the results:

It goes - English - Danish - Croatian

A Dog - woof woof - vov vov - vau vau
A Bird - tweet tweet - pip pip - piu piu
A Horse - Neigh - prrrr - njiha
A Sheep - Baa Baa - maehhhh - be be (pronounced like beloved)
A Duck - Quack Quack - rap rap - kva kva

I like how they come in pairs. Anyone who isn't Danish, English or Croatian care to contribute?

    • Vs our Moooo

      thank you Joey.

      Apparently the Croatian sheep says 'Be Be' like in BEn not BEloved.

      I'm going back to playschool. How long till I can leave this place?

      smilingcrazylady @joeymahone | 9 Mar '07, 16:00 | X
    • isn't it "meugle beugle"

      ?

      chiaroscuro @joeymahone | 9 Mar '07, 16:06 | X
      • You've been hanging out with some strange cows.

        I can't remember what noise French dogs make. I used to know, from reading Tintin. "Wouah"? Dunno.

        German dogs go either "Wau" or "Wuff", depending on size and other factors.

        joeymahone @chiaroscuro | 9 Mar '07, 16:08 | X
  • Stephen Fry went over dog sounds on QI.

    Can't remember them though.

    Bow wow.

  • A thread unto my own!

    But I am a bit baffled... What about PAH PAH PAH PAH PAH PAH for a panting dog?

    Rose-Kitten | 9 Mar '07, 16:04 | X
    • Umm

      I was just going for the standard noises of animals in full health. Guess we can add to it...

            I'm leaving in 11 minutes.

            smilingcrazylady @georgie_mc_porgimus | 9 Mar '07, 16:43 | X
          • Oh by the way

            When I was a kid we did this game, parents say an animal, you do the noise etc, but they were always trying to confuse us with odd animals to get comedy answers.

            Best examples

            mum: "Camel!"
            me (aged5):
            *pause*
            "Hump hump?"
            them: uproarous laughter forever

            John_Brainlove | 9 Mar '07, 16:43 | X
          • Have some swedish...

            Dog - voff
            Horse - gnägg
            Sheep - bää
            Duck - kvack
            Pig - grymt

            I think Mr Pinkstars has made these up. It's like fake English with umlauts.

            fionapinkstars | 9 Mar '07, 16:45 | X
            • The duck sounds good

              K..... VACK...

              smilingcrazylady @fionapinkstars | 9 Mar '07, 16:48 | X
              • it's almost the same as croatian

                KVA KVA

                Shouldn't animal noises be the same in all languages? Or do ducks in different countries actually speak different duck sounds? hmmmmmmm
