What do spanish speakers who say jaja, jiji, etc. mean in english?

I see that online a lot and I figured that jaja means haha. As in somebody is laughing, but I don’t know what the other ones mean. Please let me know. Thanks!!

    It’s just the Spanish way of spelling “hahaha” and “hehehe”; “jejeje” is also very common.

    jaja=haha in English.

    jiji=hehe

    It’s just a way of laughter. The J’s in Spanish make the H sound. That’s why it’s spelled like that.

    Spanish Interjection “jaja” : ‘haha’, LOL

    “jiji” maybe ‘giggle’ ?

    Maybe : “jiji” : n. [gE-gE] Ridicule with extreme and pure sarcasm, where the recipient of the sarcasm has done something clearly offensive or completely unnecessary.

    Jajaja, Jejeje, jijiji, jojojo are ways to write laughing sounds in spanish. Equivalents to the english “Ha ha ha”, or “Ho ho ho” (Santa Claus’ laugh?). Not all people make the same sounds when laughing, or laughing out loud (LOL).

    This question makes me remember the song “I Love to Laugh” (or We Love to Laugh) in the “Mary Poppins” movie where Bert (Dick Van Dyke), Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) and Uncle Albert (Ed Wynn) sings about the different ways people laugh.

    Uncle Albert:

    I love to laugh

    Loud and long and clear

    I love to laugh

    It’s getting worse ev’ry year

    The more I laugh

    The more I fill with glee

    And the more the glee

    The more I’m a merrier me

    It’s embarrassing!

    The more I’m a merrier me!

    Mary Poppins:

    Some people laugh through their noses

    Sounding something like this “Mmm…”

    Some people laugh through their teeth goodness sake

    Hissing and fizzing like snakes

    Bert:

    Some laugh too fast

    Some only blast – ha!

    Others, they twitter like birds

    Then there’s the kind

    What can’t make up their mind

    Uncle Albert:

    When things strike me as funny

    I can’t hide it inside

    And squeak – as the squeakelers do

    I’ve got to let go with a ho-ho-ho…

    And a ha-ha-ha…too!

    All:

    We love to laugh

    Loud and long and clear

    We love to laugh

    So ev’rybody can hear

    The more you laugh

    The more you fill with glee

    And the more the glee

    The more we’re a merrier we!

    The shirt is dirty is la camisa esta sucia. The word mugrosa could be used in some countries, and it’s a stronger term meaning filthy and not used frequently Hope this helps
