I wish English had a verb meaning "to laugh with delight." Do other languages?
@paulg Chortle, chuckle, ROFL, and guffaw mean to laugh, but not necessarily with delight.

@paulg in Spanish we have one that means "to laugh a lot" which I guess is not literally "with delight" but maybe it's close ("carcajearse")Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@paulg True enough, but more targeted than simple "laugh". My wife says French has no such word, I'm not a sufficient polyglot to help more.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
