    In Chinese novels snorting can be seen scattered all over conversations. However I have a hard time "snorting." I used to believe that snorting produces the same sound as what pigs do *oink* or what I do when snoring while asleep or sneezing.

    "You are just a cripple!", Wu Bei snorted.

    In this piece of dialogue when does the actual "snorting" happen?
    "*snort*You are just a cripple!"
    "You are just a cripple!*snort*"
    "*snort*You are just a cripple!"snort""
    "*snort*You*snort*are*snort*just*snort*a*snort*cripple!"snort"" (might sound like a pig here)

    Also, there are other forms of snorting such as coldly, arrogantly etc. I also believe that it is important to distinguish between other sound effects such as a "harumpf"

    Google defines it as:
    an explosive sound made by the sudden forcing of breath through one's nose, used to express indignation, derision, or incredulity.

    I literally googled "How to snort?" and got result on how to snort cocaine and other form of drugs. Also tried on Youtube and got similar results.

    I have tried to "snort" but the resulting sound is close to a "harumpf" or a "huh." If I try really hard it sound like snoring or a pig's *oink* or a sneeze. I invite you to try snorting. How do Chinese people sound when snorting? Please provide a video or something.

    One of the most misleading threads I've seen, but yeah, i agree with you on the fact that snorting is confusing. My opinion of it is just some kind of harumpf like u said, but less piggy-ish.

    you know the annoying laughs that no one likes? Usually you can find a snort in one of those.

    Its more or less just a very quick, forceful exhale from the nose. Almost like a sneeze, but less explosive reflex.

    Now that would make the snorts even more insulting! Not only did you make a silly noise at them, you also sprayed them with snot! :blobrofl:
