Onomatopoeia for Sneezing?

Question

I was in Spanish class today, and we came upon a discussion about sneezing, so if I were to write that someone sneezed in a paper would it still read as "achoo" or would it be different because of the language change? Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

There are no specific rules on how to write onomatopoeia in Spanish. RAE says:

achís.

1. onomat. U. para imitar el estornudo y, a veces, para designarlo.

2. interj. Guat. chis (? para indicar que hay algo sucio).

I've seen from Achús, achú, and achí to Jesús, etc.
