Dry Onomatopoeia

Postby Soraly » December 5th, 2009 8:44 pm

Hi all,

Anyone understand the differences between "mosomoso" "bosoboso" and "pasapasa"? They all indicate dryness, right? Or at least bosoboso and pasapasa do, I'm not completely sure about mosomoso.

Because I know context is often important for onomatopoeia...each of these relates to some unappetizing ramen noodles. A man eats three bowls or ramen. In the first he says the noodles are "mosomoso" the second "bosoboso" and the third "pasapasa". I'm very interested in how each of these could be translated into English.
