哈囉，大家好！ 哈啰，大家好！ Hello, everyone!
I'm Grace
Have you ever seen this ("jajajaja")?
this ("5555")?
or this ("hahahaha")?
These are how people laugh online in different languages.
In Chinese, we also have many different ways
to express laughter online.
So today, let’s learn how to laugh online
in 9 different ways in Chinese.
我們開始吧！ 我們開始吧！ Let’s get started!
The first one is the most common one: 哈哈
The funnier something is,
the more you’ll see this character being repeated.
Depending on how funny something is,
people will type out different numbers of this character.
A little funny: 哈哈
Actually funny: 哈哈哈
or 哈哈哈哈
Extremely funny:
you can type as many as you want
And this is just for your reference
as there isn’t a strict rule for the number of 哈s used.
But as you chat more with your Chinese friends online,
you’ll be able to tell the difference.
Also, sometimes people add an 啊 before 哈哈哈.
The 啊 mimics people laughing in real life.
The 啊 sound appears before a big laugh.
It’s just like “ahahaha” in English.
OK, let’s move on to the next one.
when you find something extremely funny
aside from using lots of 哈
You can also use some expressions like
“笑死 laugh to death”
“我快笑死 I’m about to laugh to death”
“笑死我了 I’m laughing to death”.
I feel like they’re pretty similar to “LMAO” in English.
You can even combine many 哈s with these expressions.
Like, 哈哈哈哈哈笑死
or 哈哈哈哈哈笑死我了
to express that you find something extremely hilarious.
Personally “笑死” is my go-to phrase
when I find something hilarious.
The next one is related to 哈哈,
which is 哇哈哈.
It’s similar to this ("bwahaha")
or this ("mwahaha") in English
It’s like a triumphant or evil laughter.
For example,
OK, the next one is the last one related to 哈哈,
which is 噗哈哈哈 ("puhahaha")
you can add as many 哈s as you want.
The first sound 噗 is this reaction:
Ｗhen you burst out laughing, you can use this laughter
The sixth one is 嘻嘻
嘻嘻 is like this:
It’s a small laugh,
and sometimes it has mischievous hidden connotations.
It’s like “hee hee” in English,
OK, let’s move on to the next one: 嘿嘿
嘿嘿 is like a smirk with a smug or mischievous connotation.
But it can also be just a silly and cute laugh.
It depends on the context.
Sometimes I use this one
when I want to express a silly or cute laugh.
OK, the next one is: 呵呵
I’ve mentioned this in one of my other videos,
so I’ll show you the clip here.
For those who have already watched it,
please enjoy it again
The fourth one is: 呵呵
呵呵
You might see this word sometimes in online posts or in comments,
and it’s often translated into English as this (“hehe”).
But actually this is not mischievous laughter.
It’s like this:
呵呵 is to laugh coldly.
People use it to express contempt or to be sarcastic.
So if you use it, people might get offended.
The last one for today is: 科科 / 顆顆（颗颗） / ㄎㄎ
This one is more commonly used in Taiwan,
and many people just type Zhuyin: ㄎㄎ
This one: 科科 / 顆顆（颗颗） / ㄎㄎ
can be interpreted differently depending on the context.
Often it’s used like “呵呵” to express contempt or to be sarcastic.
But it can also just be a cute laugh.
OK, that’s all for today!
