How do you read "Hehe" ?

[Cirice]

Recently a friend of mine told me they read "Hehe" as heh heh.
Since we were speaking in English though I assumed they'd read it as hee hee, since that's how you pronounce "He". However in my native language I'd also read it as heh heh, so depending on if I'm speaking in my native language or in English I'll expect it to sound different.

Therefore I am curious, how do you read it? And does your first language influences it ?

 

[You got mail!]

Most of the time I read it as heh heh I just think it sounds better

 

[Firesquids]

I read it as "hee hee" I think that if you intend for it to be read as " heh heh" then it should be written "heheh".

For me, it depends on the tone of the rest of the conversation. If it's a cool or calm tone- heh. If it's a cute or excited tone- hee.

i will read it either way depending on context, but usually if i want someone else to read it as "hee hee", i will specifically spell it that way the same i would "teehee".

 

[Hopeless Opus]

it's definitely "hee hee" to me

I’m surprised in the minority on this one. I think it’s “heh heh” since hehe just has one E.

 

[Aerith]

"hee hee" more often than not. On rare occasions, when I know how the person laughs, and they are more of a "heh heh" person than a "hee hee", then I may read it as that in my head

I do the “Hee-Hee” I didn’t know there were other iterations of saying “Hehe”.

 

[MiniPocketWorld]

Heh heh here because it's mushed together. (Hehe)
I didn't give it much thought so maybe that's wrong? American English.

 

[Zerous]

I read both depending on the context, although I think my default might be hee hee?

 

[xlisapisa]

I’ve always read it as hee hee. I’ve never used heh heh before unless it’s only one heh and even then it’s only in situations where something wasn’t really funny so I just give them a slight heh and move on lol. hehe or ha ha (or just lol) when something is actually funny.

 

[Kitsuragi]

i read it like hehe

 

[Yoshi155]

I always read it like Michael Jackson. If it’s the other way, I think it would be spelled “heh heh.”

 

[duckvely]

i read it hee hee

 

[Liz!]

As hehe for me.

 

[Seastar]

I read it as "heh heh" and it gives off a different tone to me than if someone wrote "hee hee". I didn't know that wasn't normal, but I don't think I can change it now.

 

[Bluelady]

Welp, today I learned something new. I've always read it as heh heh.

 

[himekirako]

hee hee for me :3

 

[Midoriya]

I'm going to have to agree with Yoshi on this one.

This is specifically what it sounds like to me.
