Our post today comes from a question from a student of mine, a 12-year-old girl, about sounds animals make in Spanish. I decided to look into it, and here’s a small list with the sound and the corresponding verb, check it out!
abeja (bee): bzzz (zumbar)
burro (donkey): iii-aah (rebuznar)
caballo (horse): jiiiiiii, iiiiou (relinchar)
cerdo (pig): oink-oink, oinc-oinc (gruñir) — oink
gallina (hen): coc co co coc (cacarear)
