【No. 1295】Wan Wan and Nyan Nyan (ワンワンとニャンニャン- Doggie and Kitty)
Jul 5, 2018 19:48
I would like to write about cats and dogs continuing from yesterday.
In Japan, a dog bark is represented as "wan wan" (ワンワン), and a cat's cry is represented as "nyan nyan" (ニャンニャン).
These terms are used not only as cries but also as baby words that refer the animal itself.
That is to say, "wan wan" and "nyan nyan" can mean dog and cat, respectively.
I think that these words correspond to doggie, kitty, or meow in English.
However, please note that somehow nyan nyan sometimes mean sexual activity.

ワンワンとニャンニャン
今日は昨日に引き続き、犬と猫の話題です。
日本で犬の鳴き声は「ワンワン」、猫の鳴き声は「ニャンニャン」です。
これらは単に鳴き声だけでなく、その動物を指す幼児語として使われることがあります。
すなわち「ワンワン」は犬、「ニャンニャン」は猫というわけです。
これらは英語での 'doggie,' 'kitty,' 'meow' に相当すると思います。
ただし、どういうわけか「ニャンニャン」は性行為を表すことがあるので、注意が必要です。

How would you use ’nyan nyan’ in a sentence for sexual activity? Could you give an example sentence? 例文
Interesting article.

When expressing the meaning, it is usually used with the verb 'suru' (する - do), for example, "nyan nyan suru" (ニャンニャンする).
Example:
Kanojo to nyan nyan shita (彼女とニャンニャンした - I made love to my girlfriend).

These terms are used not only as representations of their cries, but also as childlike expressions for the animals themselves.
Since there is more than one type of animal, I think it should be "animals themselves."

I've never heard using 'meow' to refer to a cat or a kitten. When I was looking online, however, I found that 'meow meow' is the street name for a synthetic stimulant.

Hi Toru! This post reminded me of another English words for cat, 'pussy' or 'pussy cat.' 'Pussy' can also be used as vulgar slang for a women's genitals or for someone who is weak or cowardly.

Thank you so much always for correcting my post!
It's very interesting that both English and Japanese have the word linking cats and women. :)
