Could you give me some examples of onomatopoeia in japanese? Seems like there are a lot of onomatopoeias in japanese, such as "guru guru", "waku waku", "yura yura" and so on. And I wanted to know more of them.So so if you know some, please leave an answer here with the meaning/translation. Thank you~!
