The word “lois” appeared on the internet as a kind of reinterpretation of the English word “like”, which means “to like” or “like”. When social networks like Facebook began to offer the ability to “like” posts, it became a symbol of support and approval. But on the internet, everything changes quickly, and the word “like” in conversations began to sound like “lois”. Why? Because it’s just a cool and fun way to say “I like what you posted”.

So, lois became a symbol of support because they show that you like something, and you want to emphasize it. It’s like a virtual high five that you share with friends or even strangers. Over time, the word “lois” began to be used not only in social networks but also in the everyday language of youth to emphasize their agreement or support.

For example, when a friend shares a funny video, you can say: “Cool video! You get a million lois!” This immediately shows that you liked it and adds a friendly atmosphere to the conversation. It turns out that lois are not just pressing a button, but also a part of our internet communication.

Currently, this term is hardly used. The best alternative to “like” is the Ukrainian “vpodobayka”.
