Random question, but what would be the best way to render a LOL kind of think in EO? I was thinking REL (ridi eksteren laŭte) but it's a complicated affair considering 'laugh out loud' really has a generic meaning. Are we laughing aloud? laughing loudly in an outwards manner?

I just feel the need to pop a RELmajstro occasionally in EO for humour/silliness' sake but I can't help but be grammatical about it ridulo.gif

The 'out' in English is idiomatic, so that REL is an anglismo. In my view RL = ridas laŭte should be enough - if you need such an abbreviation. But I'm not sure that we should have texting abbreviations in E-o, unless they have a real chance of being internationally adopted as neologismoj.

The common form is MDR, the same as in French. In French it's mort de rire, in Esperanto multe da rido. Not so many people use it, though. On the babilejo the most common laugh is simply 'ha ha ha'.

I have also seen MRL, mi ridas laŭte.

I’ve seen MDR in a list. I’ve also seen ĥaĥa, (or you could just use ĥĥĥĥĥĥ!).

That seems to be taken from german. In German you are extremly loudly laughing doing "ha, ha." = "ĥa, ĥa" pronounced the Esperanto way. Okej, you could do it slowly. "ha" break "ha". That means, that your are not very amused about. Mostly used if somebody kid you and you're realize that. Okej, was a little bit off topic my laughing science explanation okulumo.gif

Heh, dude, English has haha as well. Spanish has ja ja, which is pronounced "ĥa ĥa", like the EO version.

EDIT:

For the record, I've only seen MDR. In case this is an informal poll.

But ha ha is usually shorter to type than ĥa ĥa.
