What does chikkutakku mean in japanese?

Question:


exact phrase is

Chikkutakku to buriki no tokei ga

explain EVERY word ur able to explain
im really tryin to learn

Answer:


tick tock.

Think about learning reading. It really helps. You can see that was katakana, which means it is either a foreign loan word (tick tock) and/or onomatopoeia.

buriki--I believe means "tin."

chikkutakku tick-tock, buriki no tokei--the tin [metal] clock is ...[either continues or implies "is making the noise"]

no and ga are particles. if you don't know those, you need to study from the beginning buddy. Those are essential to Japanese. They are like "to" "for" "among," etc, in English. Words that are not fun to learn but are extremely essential to learning to speak and understand Japanese.

There are lots of good resources for free online. try about.com or gaijinpot.com for starters.
