@paula_mgd "Ayo" doesn't have a direct/literal meaning. It's something you say to casually grab someone's attention. It's similar to "hey."

As a slang people use it "hey you"
But maybe someone can use like "are you okay?"

No es una palabra, es sencillamente una reacción

Ayo is slang that’s mainly used as a reaction. It sounds like “aye yo” so it could be used to get someone’s attention (the equivalent to hey you) but also be can used like wow, what do you say

チャットを見ていると、よくAYOとかayoなどと書いている人を見かけます。文の一部として使われているのではなく、AYO単体で使われています。
また、AYO?と書かれている時もあります。いったいどういう意味なのでしょう😭

ご回答いただきありがとうございました😊
