ok, topics title is a bit weird but let me explain:

every country has their own language.
you use the language to write in a different way than you write.
and using the language on the internet is also a bit different from the mentioned above.

as an example, english using internet users have a lot of shortcuts like wtf or omg.

but there are also different ones. japan has such a vast internet culture.

YABEEE(origin is from やばい (written in latin letters)) means something like DAMN!
wwwwww means something like super funny.
they also have completely different smileys like
ಠ_ರೃ
or
(」゜ロ&#12444」

i also know some korean so korea has also funny korean internet language.
방가방가(the full word is 반갑습니&#45796 which means nice to meet you.
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ or ㅎㅎㅎ means lol (sounds in real like laughing haha or keke)
and foul language is also a big thing in korea..
like not completely writing the word instead just write the first two letters
ㅅ ㅂ for 씨발 (means fuck)

so i wanted to ask, does your homecountry/mother tongue also have some funny internet slang you would like to share?

iam from germany, and i seriously cant think of any internet language, since germany is sort of a third world country when it comes to internet.

share your story, GAF.

kA, apparently not.

 

[Africanus]

There's some sort of nonsense with the number 8 in Japanese I believe.

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Not my homecountry, but there is a chinese character that looks like this.

囧

 

[Aeana]

Ragnarok Online taught me that '555' is laughing in Thai.

In China it is a very lucky number that is supposed to bring weath.

8888 is hachihachihachihachi which is the sound used to describe clapping.

 

[Sakujou]

i used it in the pre-youtube days, but i remember the last time i used this shortcut.

welp, in the end you are right

Pronounced as "pachipachipachipachi" in such an instance.

YABEEE(origin is from やばい (written in latin letters)) means something like DAMN!

I don't think I've ever seen this used before (as in, written in latin letters).

 

[Mimosa97]

In French, if you want to show that you're laughing your ass off behind your screen, you can use the following :

hahahahaha = hahahahahaha
lol=lol
Mdr = mort de rire = Died laughing
Ptdr = pété de rire = literally " broken " from laughing

Don't ask me why but on a laughing intensity scale from 1 to 10, " mdr " is at like 7-8 and "Ptdr" is at 9-10. I know it makes no sense, when you die from laughing it's like the maximum level of intensity possible. But nah, we like to do things differently in France.

Then there are the bad words and expressions that i won't say here, and everything related to French slang and the bad language. Anyway, if anyone is interested, feel free to ask.

I write proper English online, thank you very much.
The way I type is the way I talk, which is more or less the way I write for formal papers.

The only qualifiers would be that I do post sentence fragments more online, and I use various ASCII faces/indicators of emotion >.> :þ

I guess these Chinese numbers are relevant.

Norway is dull here. We just write our local dialect.

Oh man. The main ones they use in Taiwan are mostly numbers.

- 521: Apparently sounds like "I love you" (我愛&#20320
- 426: Sounds like "Bloody mainlanders"
- 555: Crying sound
- 冏："..."

Etc

Here in Italy I used to see 'asd' which I think was used for laughing in Quake or something, but then again I don't browse many italian forums

*g* kp.

there is some internat language in our country. but not much because germans uses a lot of english stuff. well.. a lot of people who are not speaking english much, or do not use english forums still use those german shortcuts..so many people in our country a afraid to use the internet.

I like japanese shortcuts, I use them with my japanese friends. look at that masterpiece *･゜ﾟ･*:.｡..｡.:*･'(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)'･*:.｡. .｡.:*･゜ﾟ･*

 

[Yaponchik]

Brazilians use "rsrsrs" as lol
rs means "rindo solto" which means something along the lines of laughing loosely.
I've seen "kkkkkk" also as lol... have no idea what the meaning is.

 

[18-Volt]

In Turkey most people in real life end sentences with "amina koyim", which literally means "I fuck your pussy". Like, " It's very hot today, I fuck your pussy". Means something like "damn". Internet slang for that is " aq" or "amk". They are very common in use, if you see those words in a sentence, know that it's a Turkish comment.

kkkkkk is phonetic. "kakakakaka" sort of "hahahahaha".

Don't be surprised, Turks swear like hell. They swear so much, sometimes it's considered as common sense.

 

[jts]

Lol, good job Turks.

Imagine an american finishing a sentence with "up in this bitch".

God damn, it´s so hot up in this bitch.

It probably wouldn't make too much sense if directly translated to another language as well.

In the same sense, the portuguese/brazilian have an expression that's "whore who gave birth". "Oh no I am late, whore who gave birth!".

The Finnish people have an insult that goes "go ski into a cunt".

And so on and so forth. That's just language and culture.

Brazil: rsrsrs

This is madness.

 

[M3d10n]

In Brazil laughing is often "kkkk" or "rsrsrs", with the occasional "hahahaha" or "hehehehe" when trying to write in a more polite way.

AFAIK "huehuehue" isn't used for legit laughs. It's either used for trolling or satire. Crude example:

"I told my GF I am going to work until very late tonight. HUEHUEHUEHUE"
