Answer:

Onomatopoeia

Explanation:

Onomatopoeia refers to the creation of words that imitate the sound they are trying to describe. Examples are: tic-toc, lub-dub, quack, mwah.

Onomatopoeia comes from the combination of two greek words that mean "name" and "I make".

Onomatopoeia differs a little bit between languages both in spelling and sometimes even in sound. For example, tic-toc is widely used in English, while tic-tac is used in Spanish; quack is used in English, while cuac is used in Spanish; haha is used in English and jaja is used in Spanish.

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam, When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark! 
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark:
For though from out our bourn' of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.

One time, actually, I was trying to convince my best friend that hamsters were better than cats. She disagreed, but wanted to see my side of the debate. The strategy I used was explaining my opinion. I was successful and now she agrees with me. Hope this helped! :)
