⚫️Japanese onomatopoeia Vol. 25 “BAKI (and swallow your breath lol)”(バキッ)by Kay Koyama (JPN)

If you are MANGA lovers, you have probably seen “BAKI (TT)” in the air or the side of speech bubble.

“BAKI” means the breaking sound of trees, branches, or boards that are dry, thin and hard things and easily (literally) broken even if you are not KARATE masters (althought MANGA creators use “BAKI” to the masters as they crash thick boards lol).

⚫️How to use “BAKI”

1 You need to take your breath away after you say “BAKI” as you comprehend the Japanese unique pronunciation of “small TSU(っ)”.

2 When you break a branch, say “BAKI (and swallow your breath(lol).).

If you wanna express the Japanese sound as you (or your heros of MANGA) break lots of branches, say or draw the unique word several times like ” BAKI BAKI BAKI.”
