What do they say in your language?

Post by Knutselmaaster »

In my home there are 2 native languages, and we have often funny discussions about animal sounds.
My wife is convinced that a rooster says cocorico, but i'm quite sure that, even here in France, they say kukelekuu.
As there are many nationalities visiting this forum, i thought it would be nice to see what animals say in your countries.

In Dutch:
Cat: Miauw
Dog: Woef
Cow: Boe
Rooster: Kukelekuu
Chicken: Tok
Frog: Kwaak
Duck: Kwek
Bird: Tjilp
Mouse: Piep

Lets hear your's, don't hesitate to add other animals.

Haha nice topic :P. For me, in Canada (Québec more specifically) this would more sounde like:

Cat: Miaow
Dog: Woof
Cow: Meuh
Rooster: Cocorico
Chicken: Cot
Frog: Koak
Duck: Coin
Mouse: Tip (lol not sure :P)

Also I would like to say that you have to use the pronounciation of the country you're in to really understand. Like the duck is not pronounce like coin (money) but like... I can't find a word lile this in english lol sorry. :mrgreen:
