ONOMATOPOEIAS
Onomatopoeias literally mean "to make a name (or
sound)." That is to say that the word means nothing more than the sound it
makes. These words change from a language to another. For instance : ´Ay!` (Spanish) ´Ow`, ´Ouch` (English.)
Morever , an onomatopoeia may have different meaning, for instance the
word . Slap,
is not only the sound that is made by skin hitting skin but also the action of
hitting someone (usually on the face) with an open hand.

true that onomatopoeias can be difficult to understand without examples.
