How people type laughter around the world. Laughter is universal, right?
Not so much. While humour and sharing a laugh is something that can be experienced across cultures, distance, and language, the way we express laughter around the world is actually pretty different. That’s right, not everyone has to face the ‘lol’ versus ‘hahaha’ debate (hahaha will always win, just saying). Instead, those in Spain comment jajaja on their friend’s ridiculous profile picture, while in Thailand a good joke will be rewarded with a 55555.
Here’s how people type laughter around the world, with information from Latinos Post. UK and America: Hahaha or LOL Or occasionally hehehe, or ROFL (if it’s hilarious), or the now underused LMAO. Italy: Ah ah ah ah While this reminds us of The Count from Sesame Street, Italians just think of his as the phonetic way of writing out the sound of laughter. China: 哈哈 In Mandarin, laughter is expressed with 哈哈, pronounced haha. Korea: Kkkkk And occasionally kekekeke. Nigeria: LWKMD Greece: Xaxaxa Brazil: Rsrsrsrs France: Mdr.
