What are these words?
原来单词还能这么拼？
“Whaaaat’s uppppp?” Have you ever seen anyone write like this? So-called “stretchable” words (可拉伸单词) are being used more often in text messages and online posts.
Younger people especially like using stretchable words because they sound playful and fun. They can allow you to communicate (交流) strong feelings without using emojis.
For example, one of the most common stretchable words is “ha”. Because it’s short, it can be easily stretched. If something is just kind of funny, you might just type “haha”. But if something is really funny, you might type “hahahahaha”.
Another example is “yeeeesssss”. When you type “yes”, it might sound like you are just fine with a certain idea. But if you use “yeeeesssss”, you show that you are very excited about it.
Although stretchable words are popular on social media, there are worries that children will struggle (费劲) to switch to more formal (正式的) writing when in school. Stretching out too many words can be annoying (烦人的). So if you like using them when texting with friends, remember not to use them in your homework!
