Or like this. Or this. How would you respond? You could say the obvious thing: "Megan, that is utterly, awesomely hilarious.
Something like "LOL. But, so many hahas , you get the idea: You'd find a way, basically, to convey through textual means the uncontrollable laughter I have provoked.
But: what if we weren't speaking English? He is also a heavy gamer, playing some of the most famous games, such as League of Legends or LoL — pun intended , Fortnite, and who-knows-what will be the mainstream game by the time you read this article. I know what you are thinking. Are Brazilians… racist? I will not get into the weeds about if Brazilian people are racist or not, but I can guarantee the use of kkkkk has nothing to do with the extremist group that most people know as KKK.
The letter K in Brazil sounds like kah , and if repeated several times, it sounds like the onomatopoeia of laughter. From internet forums and games chat rooms, to conversations with my mom on Facebook and WhatsApp, kkkkk is everywhere.
It is just easy to spam the letter k several times, instead of typing several different letters. This can go on for several rows. Nowadays, this is mostly used by baby boomers. This is used also when people are being coy or even when you are being polite with someone you might not know very well. Similarly to the kkkk, the amount of rs you see written is proportional to how much laughter the person writing wants to convey on the message.
However, this is hardly ever used more than 3 or 4 times rsrsrs and never to show exaggerated laughter but mostly used to mean the person is chuckling or giggling.
There are many other variations of the Brazilian online laughter. So, its strict pronunciation is English would be something like "ha ra ra", from ha t , ra t. To be more correct it should be written with spaces "ra ra ra", now this "ra" has the sound of ha t in English, and so could be an pseudo-onomatopoeia. As free onomatopoeias, I have some friends which prefer to be unique and write things like "quiquiqui", "cacaca", "kaukaukau". So, there are many others. The spelling variations may have a lot of motives, being the main: personal preferences, as people laugh differently can be a try to imitate it.
But there are others like cultural of a group, or imitation of friends from a group, like the explanation for memes to be spread around the world. I have the example of the word "casul" which became common in Brazil just in the world of games to refer a newbie player, the origins is from "casual player". As a meme, few people or nobody knows its origins either meaning or pronunciation , so the pronunciation of "huehuehue", can be the most probable an English pronunciation or any adaptation to sound like an onomatopoeia for laugh.
There are also the word "risos" laughs , usually in plural, written as an informal incorrect abbreviation, like: "rs", "rs rs", "rsrsrs", and several others replications and combinations. The full word risos is also used, with some exceptions, usually among parenthesis or braces like: risos , [risos].
As has been noted by many others, my experience is also that "hue hue hue" is not a lusophone meme at all, not onomatopoeic for the sound of laughter in portuguese. Loosely, you could imagine that it is meant to preserve the foreign character of portuguese sounds to english speakers, and still be onomatopoeic to the sound of laughter it is basically a misspelled laughter sound. If you asked a portuguese speaker to pronounce it as if it were a lusophone utterance, there are a couple of variations you might hear:.

ANeves the 'h sound' you are looking for is in the "r" at word-initial position although not at all present in european portuguese, which has an almost french-sounding "r". Show 2 more comments. Active Oldest Votes.
