Cock-a-doodle-doo

So, on the train ride home from the brewery, everyone was happy with a few beers and it was a quite jovial group. Somehow I was trying to describe the Wisconsin country side, but since I don't know the word for cow, I mooed like one. From there, we all got started with this....comparing the different animal sounds from our respective countries. Mexico, the USA, Bulgaria, Korea and France were all represented. It is so hilarious how different they all are. ribbit-ribbit, oink-oink, bow wow, meow, cock-a-doodle-doo... Everyone loved the rooster, they made me do it three times. I found myself a bit embarassed for this sound, blushing while cockadoodledoing on a train. They all loved it and with a few beers it is hard to stay embarassed. I find this so interesting! It's not like the rooster speaks english, roosters around the world sound the same, but everyone hears it so different. I can't even begin to spell the Korean words, but they seemed to have a lot of Gr sounds. American dogs would be able to communicate with Bulgarian dogs, both having the bow-wow in common.
