But, for a alien person (of the English language) some the English noises produced in some threads looks/sounds weird for me. Please, can anyone help us (aliens guys of english) publishing a list of the more used noises with their meanings.

Claudio;

LOL! I enjoyed your post.


We have many forms of the English language – just ask anyone who comes from an English speaking country. We also have regional differences and as I live on the West Coast of the United States in the San Francisco Bay Area, my take on these terms is as follows, where appropriate and available. Any omission means I do not know.


hahaha - good laughter
hehehe- sarcasm laughter
oops - mistake
hmmm - very impressed (usually negatively)
ahhh- very impressed and excited
snif - crying
- astonished, amazed
- surprised and/or amazed
- calling


Can anyone fill in the blanks for me?


Tom
