aristotle1990 Posted September 27, 2010 at 03:07 AM Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 at 03:07 AM You kinda throw it in for "cute emphasis"...hard to explain, but you see it enough and you'll start using it too. It's addictive. I think it comes from Korean. Not to be confused with the "oh" usage of the character, as in 哦，我明白了. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aristotle1990 Posted September 27, 2010 at 01:31 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 at 01:31 PM Maybe not, but there was this one scene in 我爱我家 where the dad reads aloud this letter to the editor (supposed to be symbolic of the lack of writing skills in the new generation), and it's got this drawn out 哦 at the end. Always thought there was some 韩流 stuff going on here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted September 27, 2010 at 01:41 PM Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 at 01:41 PM oh but on second thought a lot of things came from Korea. Even Phelps came from Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
