What does “laugh” mean?
laugh
Oh, that's a nice one to start with!
"Laugh" is that sound and feeling you get when something is funny — your body just reacts, you make a happy noise, maybe your shoulders shake a little.
Like if your friend tells a really funny joke, you "laugh." You'd say "That joke made me laugh so hard!" Or imagine watching a silly video of a dog falling off a couch — "I couldn't stop laughing!"
You can also use it to describe the sound itself: "She has the best laugh" means her laughing sound is really nice or unique.
And sometimes people say "for laughs" — meaning just for fun, not seriously. Like "We did it just for laughs."
Basically, it's what happens when something makes you happy or amused and your body shows it out loud.
