Q:
How do you say this in English (US)? laughing from your heart, not formally laughing
A:
Laughing is a general verb, so it is neither formal nor informal. However, there are some words that are more descriptive that you can use instead that describe different types or intensities of laughing. Here are a few examples:
“Giggling/to giggle/a giggle” is a small or cute laugh like a child. “Cracking up/to crack up” is a more informal way to describe an intense (or hard) laugh. “Chuckling/to chuckle/a chuckle” is often used to describe softer types of laughs (like in older people). “Cackling/to cackle/a cackle” usually means a type of evil or sharp laugh (especially for villains in stories like witches). There are many more you can look up! They can get quite specific.
You can also use the word “hearty” to describe things that come from the heart, so a “hearty laugh” would work fine for what you asked in your question. We tend to use that word to describe things that are rich in quality, especially certain foods. I hope this helps! :)
