You and your interferations are always welcome Elisa.



'Interferations'is not a word in English. You meant 'interferences'.

Interventions or interferences, I just couldn't remember the word. That's why I underlined it.

But thanks a lot for your contributions.

Keep it coming as much as you remember.

- Alet tıkır tıkır işliyor (or çalışıyor)

The machine works well.

- İşler tıkırında

Everything is fine
or
"iş" may have the meaning like an activity, or a work:
My work is fine.

SunFlowerSeed, you may of course now this already but I thought I'd tell it anyway: the word for this "phenomenon" is "onomatopoeia". I'm sure you will find stuff on the internet as well by using that as a key word

(in TR it's "yansıma" or "onomatope", if I looked up correctly..)

Thanks again Elisa. But studies on this area, "mimetic word"s and "onomatopoeia"s are not common on the net. I mean Eng. - Tr or Eng - Kor. I have run a google, but what I have found were not a big deal.

I also need Korean translations, that's why I am asking for English ones. Those are hard to find words on dictionaries.
I mean there is no list for such words. Is there any ?
So, I even don't know how many or which ones do we have in Turkish. That is why I am asking here about them.

And I will spend a lot of time on Koreans too. But this is my problem. I need to spend a lot of time with people explaining the action and asking and trying to find equivalents.
