People started to develop their own personalized laughs using those four letters or combining them with a surrounding letter. You wouldn't pronounce these "laughs" because they are for written communication. No one says them out loud. Brooklyn, New York. Cambridge, Massachussetts. San Francisco, California. For "haha" and "lol" in Greece we would use the term "xaxaxa". The "x" in Greek is an "h" sound. Queens, New York. Because Greek has a different alphabet that sometimes isn't available online especially in the days of chat rooms, etc.
The main idea is that you use Latin characters that look like the Greek ones. Mostly they sound the same, but not always. A greek would laugh like this online: "xaxaxaxa".
In both cases, it is pronounced the same way "hahaha" is pronounced in English. I think that "lol" is used only by teenagers! People find it too American pop culture-ish.
It's the letter for "k", like a hard "k" sound. It's more like "hehehehe", between "heh" and "huh". New York, New York. We use the same laugh sometimes, think of the Duck Hunt dog, like it's a mischievous snicker or something.
Korean speakers would write this out as "kkkkk" on online games, and English speakers borrowed this as "kekeke".
Santa Barbara, California. Lol is an acronym for laughing out loud. Jajaja, like hahaha in English, is a representation of the sound you hear when someone laughs.
Just read it aloud. How do Japanese laugh in text? Wwww is the Japanese equivalent of the English hahahaha, used to express laughter online and in text message. The more w's, the more enthusiastic the laughter. Like haha, wwww can be shortened to w ww and can have an ironic tone. What is Jajajaja? It basically means the person is laughing in Spanish.
BUT, don't be mistaken and read it out loud as yayaya, make sure you have strong j's. What is haha in Korean? But there can be several ways other, as hangul Korean alphabet is very phonetic within its sounds.
On the internet, many people use things with hangul like lol or ROFL. Basically, there are? K and? H are used in general. What does VLW mean in Portuguese? How do you text haha in Japanese?
Thai: In Thai, the number 5 is pronounced "ha" -- so instead of saying "hahahahaha," Thai speakers will sometimes write " And then, much the same way "ha" begat "haha" begat "hahaha," the sentiment became extended -- to "ww" and then "www" and also, if you're so inclined, to "wwwwwww". Interestingly, the number 5, in Mandarin, is pronounced as "wu" -- meaning that Thai's "" would, in Chinese, be prounounced "wuwuwuwuwu. Similarly, since the number 8 is pronounced "ba," Chinese speakers sometimes use "88" to sign off , or say "ba ba" "bye bye".
Along those lines, should you want to reward someone you're chatting with not just with laughter, but with actual praise Spanish: jajaja In spanish, j is pronounced like the English h, so "jajaja" is the direct analog of the English "hahaha. Brazilian Portuguese: huehuehue, rsrsrsrs Same, with the vowels varying rather than the consonants.
It also, like many non-English languages, uses the universalized "LOL" to indicate laugher. Hat tip and to Chris Heller. Skip to content Site Navigation The Atlantic.
