To supplement my Russian via ForumLanguage plus a tutor I got, I also have befriended a Russian I found on instagram and we’re messaging back and forth to help improve my Russian. He uses some emoticons/expressions I am not familiar with though. Any idea what ))) means? It doesn’t look like a smiley face and I’ve never seen it before so I was curious. Thanks!

5 CommentsVik_toreeaIt is the Russian smiley face!January 1, 2016mizinamoPlus312I’ve heard that the origin is that “)” was easy to type on a Cyrillic keyboard but “:” and/or “-” were not so easy (you needed to switch the keyboard to Latin first or something), so they just took the mouth of the smiley and used that.
You’ll see “)))” style smileys a lot around Russian people.January 1, 2016Neon_Iceberg2367One ) – is a smile, the ))) is “laughing”. It is an analog of 😀 =D and others similar.January 1, 2016olimoThe more brackets, the stronger the emotion is! “)” or “))” is a smile, “)))” is laughing, and “))))))))))” is laughing really hard! The same with “(“, “((“, “(((” and “((((((((((“, the latter tells you that the person is really upset with something.January 4, 2016VinnHowardAUXILIO!!
