Are these real dogs sounds from other languages, or did the guy just make them up?
Turns out Finnish dogs and Polish dogs speak the same language.jtbell said:Finnish dogs say “hau-hau” (pretty much like “how-how” in English)
And we have the same sound with a V at the beginning. The silent barks go "wuff = vooff".Bandersnatch said:Turns out Finnish dogs and Polish dogs speak the same language.
In French, a dog's sound is often written as "ouaf ouaf" or "wouf wouf." In Spanish, it is commonly written as "guau guau" or "jau jau." In German, a dog's sound is often written as "wau wau." These are just a few examples, as different languages may have different ways of representing a dog's sound.
While dogs may make different sounds in different languages, the basic sound of a dog's bark is the same across all languages. The variations in how the sound is written or pronounced is due to the differences in language and culture.
Dogs make sounds in different languages simply because they are responding to their environment and the communication cues they have learned from their owners or other dogs. The sounds they make are not specific to any language, but rather a form of communication.
Yes, there are cultural differences in how dogs are perceived based on their sounds. For example, in some cultures, a dog's bark may be seen as a sign of aggression or warning, while in others it may be seen as a playful or friendly sound. These perceptions may also vary within a single culture.
While dogs may not understand the meaning of words in different languages, they can learn to associate certain sounds with specific actions or behaviors. For example, a dog may learn to respond to the command "sit" in English, but may also learn to respond to the command "assis" in French. This is because dogs are highly adaptable and can learn to respond to different sounds and cues from their owners.
