je

ha (laughter)

interjection heh Less Common

Usage Note

Je represents a single syllable of laughter in written Spanish, equivalent to English 'ha' or 'heh'. It is used in comics, informal writing, and online text, often repeated (je je je or jeje) for a fuller laugh. Unlike ja ja (louder, more boisterous laughter) or ji ji (giggling), je tends to suggest a subdued or ironic chuckle. It is a written convention, not a spoken word.

Examples

Je, qué gracioso!"

Natural Translation

Ha, how funny!
