englishboy Posted May 3, 2005 at 03:34 PM Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 at 03:34 PM Hi, I have regular msn conversations with a friend in Guangzhou. She uses "xixi" all the time but I can't find this in my online dictionary. She explains it as equivalent to smiling but I fear we are losing something in translation I love the pinyin slang so any help would be most appreciated - don't want to be too shi san dian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roddy Posted May 3, 2005 at 03:38 PM Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 at 03:38 PM 嘻嘻 - Chinese for 'tee hee' I guess. Kind of a giggling / tittering sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunpixy Posted May 4, 2005 at 02:32 AM Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 at 02:32 AM Hehe, even I myself is not used of "xixi" since my nickname is xixi and whenever someone types this to me, I see it as calling my name... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
