@tenderlove BTW, 草 often (but not always) has derisive implication. I don't know about lol. Is the same about it?
2017-09-12 10:50:43ところで、草はしばしば (しかし必ず) は冷笑的な意味を含みます。 LOLはよくわかりませんが、同じですか。
@unak I didn't know that! It depends, "lol" can be used sarcastically but more commonly is not derisive
2017-09-12 10:53:17私はそれを知らなかった!それは傾向としては、「LoL」は皮肉たっぷりに使用することができますが、冷笑的な意味はより一般的とはいえないと思います。
@unak Usually "lol" just means "that's funny!" But that can be used in a derogatory statement.
2017-09-12 10:54:28@unak Usually "lol" just means "that's funny!" But that can be used in a derogatory statement.
2017-09-12 10:54:28たいていは「W」だけを意味する「それはおもしろい!」
しかし、軽蔑的な意思の表明として使用できます。
This thread seems to be much more popular with Japanese speakers than English speakers. 🤦♀️ 草生える twitter.com/tenderlove/sta…
2017-09-13 00:27:52I just arrived in Japan and so far only 1 in 4 people tried to switch the conversation from Japanese to English (I persisted in Japanese)
2017-09-14 16:44:32@schuchert Not sure I understand. We could understand each other, just two langs in one conversation. (We do that at home frequently)
2017-09-15 02:55:06@wichor Probably not obvious from my tweet, but I was making a joke. Thank you though!

@F__eqaul__kx @payopayo84 昨日、それを習いました! 草生える。 でも、インターネットの日本人は「草」だけと言いました。
2017-09-15 17:41:52@Siegmont90 @F__eqaul__kx Yeah, "草"is shortened form for "草生える". Threre's also variation "大草原" which literally is stronger expression of "草". They are slung anyway.
