What does ‘hehe’ mean in English? Is it a friendly word?
Hi everybody!
Is there a word called ‘hehe’ in English? I want to know the meaning of ‘hehe’. Is it the same as ‘haha’? Is it a friendly way to show that I find something is interesting?
In recent years, hehe（呵呵） doesn’t show that someone is happy under some circumstances in China. So I am afraid that hehe also has some bad meaning in English.

It's the same thing as "haha" but can carry a couple of connotations:
1. sounding cute
2. an evil little laugh
3. maybe being playful

If you are not a native English speaker, I would stick with haha. First, because haha represents an actual and natural laugh. Second, because even native speakers do not agree what hehe means. Some say it is a giggle (a girlie laugh, like teehee); some say it is sinister, like a villain might use; others say it is sarcastic.

Hello, great question! I am a native English speaker and in my experience hehe is very similar to haha. Hehe is more than just laughing, but laughing sheepishly or a shy kind of laugh.

Thank you all! With your help, I realize that hehe has a lot of complicated meanings and it is quite different from haha. I think I will use haha in the future. Haha

you can use "haha" instead of "hehe", that's more commonly used.
