When a word sounds like its meaning?

This is called onomatopoeia.

It's the use of words that imitate the sounds they represent. Some examples include:

* Sizzle: The sound of something cooking in a pan.

* Buzz: The sound of a bee or a fly.

* Meow: The sound a cat makes.

* Bang: The sound of a door slamming shut.

* Clang: The sound of metal hitting metal.

Onomatopoeia is a fun and engaging way to bring language to life!
