Usually there are two kinds of burp. One happens with just one or two "burp" when someone is full of food. The other can happen anytime with quit a few "burps" and can not be controlled. Could you please give me two exact english words for them and also give a more precise description for each of them? Thanks a lot!

We don't discriminate between different kinds of burp in that way.

A small burp is a burp.

A really big loud burp is a belch.

  Are you thinking of 'hiccough' ('hiccup'), a type of spasm?

Try saying the word hiccup several times in a row.  I think you'll get the idea.  It's onomotopoeic.

You mean:

A small burp is a burp.

A really big loud burp is a belch.

usually people will say that two kinds of words to express the 2 situation?
