Abstract :
In Kurdish language the words that indicate to natural sounds have such variety that for all kinds of sounds can find a specific word. The kind of these words, unlike in Persian language, is not only noun, rather most of them are included as verb. The verbal onomatopoeias can be declined in past and present tense, also they can be applied for first, second and third person at different moods. Therefore onomatopoeias in Kurdish language divided in two categories: the verbal onomatopoeias and the nounal onomatopoeias. The verbal onomatopoeias, because they show the doing of action and their root can be denoted, their structure of infinitive and the form of verb is simple. In contrast, the form of verb in nounal onomatopoeias will be compound. In this paper, first we describe the syllabic structure and the pattern of phoneme arrangement in the onomatopoeias of Kurdish language, then we will state the index of most applicative onomatopoeias in this language.
