Japanese use their own kinds of Internet and texting slang, so today I'm highlighting one that puzzled me for a while. The w's.
You'll see it at usually the end of sentences and often several in a row: wwww.
"w" is actually short for the Japanese word 笑う "warau", which means to laugh. Sometimes you'll also see just the 笑 character by itself or ~笑 or ~笑う or something like that. It's kind of the equivalent of "lol" in English. The more w's, the more they're laughing, just like some crazy kids type "lololololol" in English :) .
Have a great day! ww
