Jájaja

Jájajaja

Used in Iceland to break the silence in either (A) awkward situation (B) to keep a conversation afloat or (C) to show emotional support to a speaker.

In written format one should not use a Jájaja following another person´s Jájaja without using an Exclamation mark

The last "a" in Jajaja is silent, a small nose whistling sound is considered polite after a Jájaja.
After a long pause in conversation a well placed Jájaja can keep even the dullest minds engaged.

Example "the weather is quite good today...jájajaja the weather is very good."
