  1. Similar, yet different enough to represent totally opposite types of sounds: 소복소복, sobok sobok, the sound of smth very light falling and piling 터벅터벅, teobeok teobeok, the sound of someone plodding, walking in slow and heavy steps Both have an adequate feel to it. One sounds a bit lighter, whereas the other is such that one could assume it has to do with something heavy. Besides for creating hand gestures, people in South Korea clearly have a fantastic flair for coining creative mimetic words. 터벅 터벅 is from Korean Unnie's book on best folk tales of Korea. Writing is just one of many things Korean Unnie has a gift for. ^ ^
