PENYELARAS | It may be weird... | Aug 6, 2011 |
but it is not random.
These are different ways of expressing different kinds of laughter.
For example, an ordinary laugh would be like rsrsrsrsrs or kkkkkkkk or hehehehe or hihihihihi, while a more intense laugh would be huahauahuahu or any other similar to this one listed by Amy.
The hahahahahahaha is also very common.

嘻嘻嘻 (pronounced xi xi xi - similar to English "she") for a giggle
哈哈哈 (ha ha ha) for a laugh
呵呵呵 (he he he - similar to English her (non-rhotic)) for a laugh or sometimes for a snicker

Here in Spain it's usually limited to variations of "jeje...jeje" or "jajaja".
In English I'm afraid I just tend to use the dreaded lol or a smiley, as none of my friends are irritated by their use...
Although sometimes I use "arf arf", which is a reference to comic book or cartoon characters, like Muttley from Wacky Races.

| Finnish laughter | Nov 2, 2011 |
I refuse to use Facebook, but here are some examples for Finnish:
In addition to the normal haha and hehe, we use several other onomatopoetic ones, some even formed into verbs.
Actually many of our laugther sounds have a different tone/nuance.
hohoho - guffaw, roar with laughter; verb: hohottaa (to guffaw)
höhöhö - guffaw, often in a deep voice, usually in slightly more silly or stupid kind of a way than 'hohoho'; for example the cartoon character Goofy... See more I refuse to use Facebook, but here are some examples for Finnish:

höhöhö - guffaw, often in a deep voice, usually in slightly more silly or stupid kind of a way than 'hohoho'; for example the cartoon character Goofy usually said: 'Höhöhöö' or similar when laughing.
hihihi - girly kind of giggling, snickering ; hihittää (to giggle)
hähähää - a definitely more mean, vicious, mocking or evil laughter
Variations: hehheh, heh heh, hahhah, hohhoh, hähhäh, etc. (double consonants). ▲ Collapse

| what a wonderful thread | Nov 13, 2011 |
OMG, this is great!
Muttley laughs! Evil laughs mwahwahwa!
Yes, some of the Brazilian laughs are the normal ones, while a big laugh is the ahuahuahua, although I have never quite heard exactly that sound.
Interesting is that rsrsrs is not about the sound of laughs, it is about the word for laugh (risos). It would be the equivalent of the English saying lglglglg, I guess.
Although I love the acronyms: LOL ROTF
Thanks

TOPIC STARTER | French laughter | Nov 14, 2011 |
A friend just told me that although the French use "lol" they also use "MDR" - mort de rir!
| | | |
This is fun!
In French, I use :
- Héhéhé : for a "quiet" or subtle or teasing or mischievious (playful) laugh
- Gnac gnac gnac : would be a easing laugh
- Mouah ha ha ha : an evil laugh
- Hihihi : for a giggle or a general laugh, although I heard that it is ironic. The number of "hi" expresses the intensity of the laugh (hihi vs hihihiihihihihi)
- Hahaha : general laugh, but I use it to express irony or sarcasm ("haha" or "ha. ha. ha." are more ironi... See more This is fun!

- Pouarf! : for a burst of laugh. "Pouarf arf arf arf" would be derisive.
MDR is indeed "Mort de rire" (literaly : dead of laughter) ▲ Collapse

Usually, in Portugal it's lol, lolada, lolão, rotflol, roflmao, ahahah, bahahahaha,... between younger people.
Older people go for the rsrsrsrsrs.

I read another version of mdr in French : ptdr (pété de rire). I don't know what would be the English equivalent... Cracked up?
