Oh, but the Matilda stories make me smile.
rooster = cocorico
In Hebrew, it's "coocooricoo", but still.
It's definitely different in each language that *I* know of.
Hebrew dogs bark "hav hav". And Hebrew ducks quack "ga ga".
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In Peter Pan, the crowing in "I've gotta crow" is just er! er-er! er-ER!!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Singing at the gym verboten or not? I forgot ny headphones and a woman two machines down was singing VERY LOUDLY and VERY off key (she was wearing headphones). I could only stand it for ten minutes before I just walked away and ended my workout.

This discussion reminds me of a survey my favorite Israeli film site did, when the transformers movie was released. They asked what was the sound they did when changing from robots into whatever-it-is-they're-changing-into. They had all these options, IIRC, 5 or 6 of them, all just like the ones we keep writing above for roosters and ducks and stuff. The last option on the survey was "you're all out of your mind".

From listening to Fenris, I've translated "Arf! Arrr-ooooooo-arr-ooo-ooo-ooo Arf!" from the Beagle dialect of Dog to translate to English as "Hey sissy squirrel, come down here and I'll open a can of whoop-ass on you."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, hitting people counts as a workout too....

Santa doesn't SPEAK spanish. "Hello, how are you, can I get you some candy?" FINE. He knows enough to get by. But he's not fluent and he certainly doesn't eat *tapas*
