Emojis are famously used not only in texting but also in chat especially in social media like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc. The word Emoji comes from the combined Japanese words e (picture) and emoji (character). Emojis are somewhat simplified ways of expressing one’s emotions and feelings towards a person. If we try to look back and take a glimpse of the past, it is so hard to recognize one’s emotions or feelings mostly when we are conversing in text or chat. But as the modern world continues to develop with its advanced technology and invention, emojis are created to improve communication and minimize misunderstandings.
Communication plays an important role in life because, without it, humans would fail to expand in every endeavour. Aside from that, communication makes things in order. Thus, emojis are tools to improve communication to easily understand one’s message. Somehow, emojis can replace words, for instance in saying “you’re so hot”, we just send the fire emoji. Therefore, sending emojis is a better way of expressing something toward the recipient of the message and for them to easily understand the context in a simple manner. Here are five emojis that we can use in everyday conversation.

With this, the receiver of the message can easily understand what the other tries to convey. Though there are other ways to express it through lengthy words, this one is simplified and more vivid. It somehow summarizes the entire feeling of a person which is huge love and affection.

It is generally an expression of a genuine feeling of love towards the beloved.

I’m sure everyone here has experienced hearing a joke and ended up laughing so hard until tears rolled down our face. This emoji best describes that feeling. Aside from that, it is a great way to express how happy you are for an event or a person. It summarizes the phrase “so happy I could cry” into one emoji.
