Art/Literary | | English term or phrase: pit-pat, spitter, spat | The context is the following:
A woman is telling a story to other women and it's raining outside. This expression reproduces the sound (I think) and something else that is what I don't understand since I can't guess why the writer uses "spitter, spat" |

Aunque en menor medida que el inglés, o que otras lenguas, el español tiene muchas onomatopeyas, que con frecuencia no se encuentran en ningún diccionario: son las que se utilizan en el habla infantil, en situaciones relajadas, o modernamente en el lenguaje de los comics. Muchas de ellas provienen del inglés (el bang del disparo, que hace solo unos lustros era ¡pum!), y otras, aunque frecuentes en la lengua hablada, no suelen verse escritas (el burrum-burrum del coche).
Efectivamente, el susurro es hiso hiso, la lluvia cae za za
