In Japanese there's a very clear distinction, because adjectives conjugate and sounds don't. Sounds also stand alone: it's possible and common to label a drink in a manga (cartoon) as "shuwa shuwa", while labeling it "fizzy" in English would be quite weird. The GP's daughter is really asking for "fizz juice", but again, that doesn't compute in English.
- nhinck2 4y agoLabelling drinks as fizzy is very normal. And it's doubly apt because fizz/fizzy are also onomatopoeia.
- thematrixturtle 4y agoNo, I mean having a freefloating "fizzy!" next to the drink, like the red text here: https://dailyportalz.jp/b/2018/05/13/c/img/pc/i001.jpg https://dailyportalz.jp/b/2018/05/13/c/img/pc/i001.jpg Basically, it's a sound coming from the drink, not a description by a third party (adjective).
- rdlw 4y ago'Fizzy drink' is very common, it's what children call carbonated beverages. In Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, Charlie and his grandfather drink 'fizzy lifting drink', for one notable usage. Edit: oh, I just saw your clarification. That makes more sense
