Today we will talk about fashionable computer abbreviations(and more). We have two wonderful videos on this topic. Let's get started!

asap= as soon as possible. This abbreviation is often used for letters and short notes at work (called memo) and is translated "as soon as possible". For example, “Call me back asap!” means “Call me back as soon as possible!”

What is IOU?

iou= “I owe you.” This word can be used within business relationships and is translated "I owe you"(usually about money). In legal English, the abbreviation IOU refers to a signed document certifying the existence of debt obligations.

Principles for reading some abbreviations

Our savvy reader could already guess on his own that some abbreviations in English you can simply spell it out or numbers, and get a meaningful phrase. First, let's look at the most common symbols:

u = you (you);
r = are (there is);
c = see (see);
y = why (why);
8 = ate(ate);
2 = two/to/too (2/to/too);
4 = for (for).

New abbreviations are appearing at great speed, but once you understand the basic logic and mechanism of formation, you will be able to decipher them yourself! The main thing is to know how the letters are read. Examples: ICQ = I seek you (I am looking for you), icu = I see you (I see you), i4cu = I foresee you (I foresee you), sk8 = skate (skate). A little more complicated: y u no...? = why you no (why don’t you)...? = why don't you...?

Yes, that's right, there is an ERROR: ...cat don’t... Such

Unfortunately, not all abbreviations are so easy to decipher. Those abbreviations where each letter corresponds to a word are called initial abbreviations. For example, LST = Large Solar Telescope, UNSC = UNSC = United Nations Security Council = United Nations Security Council. Even more unfortunately, they can have many meanings... For example, UNSC can also stand for United Nations Space Command.

LOL

lol= laugh out loud = I laugh out loud= Laughing. This is probably the most popular abbreviation on the Internet, so everyone should know it!

What does BRB mean?

brb= be right back. If during conversations on ICQ or Skype you need to go to the toilet, you can write brb to your interlocutor, which means "I'll be there soon". This abbreviation will also be useful for gamers to know.

OMG what does this mean

omg= oh my god = Oh my God! This abbreviation is especially popular among young girls. According to some carriers English language, the word God may hurt another person's feelings, so it is better to speak oh my goodness/gosh. However, the translation into Russian will not change.

WTF translation

wtf- one of the many informal (read obscene) abbreviations. It expresses an extreme degree of misunderstanding and stands for what the fuck = what the f...?/what the fuck? Naturally, this phrase may sound offensive and unpleasant. try to use it only in the company of friends. Otherwise mom will find out and make an attack.

Other abbreviations

plz = please = please;
l8r = later = later;
?4u = question for you = question for you;
jk = just kidding = just kidding;
asl = age, sex, location = age, gender, location (used when dating online);
ttyl = talk to you later = let's talk later;
cya = see you = see you;
np = no problem = no problem;
idk = I don’t know = I don’t know;
tmi = too much information = too much information;
k = okay = okay/good.

For examples of the use of these abbreviations and the subtleties of their use, watch the video! Want even more speeds? 😉 Watch the lesson.

What do horizontal (Japanese) symbolic emoticons mean?

Initially, it so happened that most of the text emoticons that were invented and became widespread had to be deciphered as if “tilting the head to the side.” However, this is not entirely convenient, you will agree. Therefore, over time, their analogues began to appear (also typed from symbols), which did not require virtually or actually tilting the head to the side, because the image created by the symbols was located horizontally.

Let's take a look what do the most common horizontal text emoticons mean?:

(joy) is usually indicated: (^_^) or (^____^) or (n_n) or (^ ^) or \(^_^)/
in symbols denoted as: (<_>) or (v_v)
The following symbols mean different things: (o_o) or (0_0) or (O_o) or (o_O) or (V_v) (unpleasant surprise) or (@_@) (meaning “You can be stunned”)
Emoticon meaning: (*_*) or (*o*) or (*O*)
I'm sick: (-_-;) or (-_-;)~
Sleeping: (- . -) Zzz. or (-_-) Zzz. or (u_u)
Confusion: ^_^" or *^_^* or (-_-") or (-_-v)
Anger and rage: (-_-#) or (-_-¤) or (-_-+) or (>__
What does fatigue mean: (>_
Jealousy: 8 (>_
Distrust: (>>) or (>_>) or (<_>
Indifference: -__- or =__=
This emoticon text expression means: (?_?) or ^o^;>
Value close to: (;_;) or (T_T) or (TT.TT) or (ToT) or Q__Q
What does winking mean: (^_~) or (^_-)
Kiss: ^)(^ either (^)...(^) or (^)(^^)
High five (means friend): =X= or (^_^)(^_^)
Carrot Love: (^3^) or (*^) 3 (*^^*)
Apology: m (._.) m
Greedy emoticon: ($_$)

Naturally, on many blogs and forums it has long been possible to add emoticons in the form of pictures (from ready-made sets), but many still continue to use text emoticons, because they have already gotten their hands on it and there is no need to find the right one in the catalog picture.

If you want to know what this or that set of characters that is a text emoticon means, write about it in the comments. Maybe the whole world will figure it out...

Good luck to you! See you soon on the pages of the blog site
