Definition
哐啷 is an onomatopoeia that imitates the loud, abrupt sound of a heavy object falling or a hard surface being struck — think of a metal pan dropping onto a tile floor, a window shattering, or a large piece of furniture toppling over. It's more forceful and resonant than a light clatter; you'd use it for crashes that are unmistakably loud and often alarming.
