In most of your examples, 嗞 is only *part* of a word -- words like 啪嗞嗞 嗞咯嗞咯 嗞啦 咔嗞咔嗞 These words represent sounds that have a sibilant component. Of these, 嗞啦 seems to have quite a lot of usage, so I'll add it. > "crackling sound of electricity" A word like "crackling", with its repeated "k" sound, is not the best word to represent 嗞, especially at the head of the definition. 嗞 is more like "sz". As you say, "after all it's just the 'zi' sound". "sizzling sound of water boiling" Boiling water doesn't generally make a sizzling sound. Typically, it's more like "bulla-bulla" (in fact, that sound is the origin of the word "boil"*). It would be more precise to say that 嗞 is the sound of steam (or other gas) escaping under pressure. Actually, that's what ChatGPT indicated in a typically verbose answer, which I'll reduce to this: "[... 嗞 is] used to describe the sizzling or hissing sound [of] something hot [...] dropped into water or [...] a carbonated beverage [being] opened. [...]" An example of steam escaping under pressure: 不斷摸索能補足視力的方法，用摸的去感覺咖啡的沖泡，聽嗞嗞聲打奶泡，... "Continuously exploring methods to compensate for her lack of vision, using her sense of touch to feel the brewing of coffee, listening to the hissing sound while frothing milk, ..." * Etymology: "boil: ... from Latin 'bullire' to bubble, from 'bulla' bubble" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/boil#word-history |
