The onomatopoeia for sneezing in Japanese is hakusyon (haa-koo-sho-n). In English, it’s achu or waafoo (sp?).

I wonder how many people form their sneezing sounds according to their culture’s linguistic interpretation of sneeze. Roosters make the same noise whether we humans interprete it as “kokekokko-” or “cockadoodledo”. But I feel like my and my brothers’ sneeze sound more like “hakusyon” while Mako’s and his brothers’ sound like “waaafoo”.
