[edit] Typesetting and Cross-language characteristics
Be careful to use the special formatting rules for the verb to LOL.
- I LOL
- you (sg.) LOL
- he/there are no females on the internet/it LOLs
- we LOL
- you (pl.) LOL
- they LOL
Often seen on acient tapestries are these archaic forms:
- thou LOList
- he/no fems/it LOLeth
The past tense is of LOL is, naturally LOL'd, it is the same in all persons and number.
The adjective describing something as LOL inducing is “LOLificatious”, or the more commonly accepted “lulzy”. In informal contexts it may be spelled using lowercase as lol, but in formal contexts it should always be spelled in uppercase as LOL since etymologically it derives from an acronym (i.e. “Let’s Order Linguini”). The present participle of LOL is LOLin'.
The German conjugation of this irregular verb is as follows:
- ich LOLe
- du LOLst
- er/Es gibt keine Frauen im Internet/es LOLt
- wir LOLen
- ihr LOLt
- sie LOLen
The past tense has a stem change from LOL to LUL, the past participle is geLALen.
The special subjunctive naturally uses an umlaut:
- ich LÖLe
- du LÖLst
- er/Es gibt keine Frauen im Internet/es LÖLe
- wir LÖLen
- ihr LÖLt
- sie LÖLen
In Russian the verb is LOLить. Note that it is not ЛОЛить which means something completely different. As a second conjugation verb, it is typical:
- я LÓLю
- ты LÓLишь
- он/она/оно LÓLит
- мы LÓLим
- вы LÓLите
- они LÓLят
- я/ты/он LOLи́л
- я/ты/она LOLи́ла
- оно LOLи́ло
- мы/вы/они LOLи́ли
The imperfective of LOLить is naturally LOLовать. The reflexive form *LOLиться is only attested to be used by фуррски, as only furries can obtain lulz at their own expense. Some common derivative words include:
- заLOLить - to begin LOLin'
- заLOLиться - to get wrapped up in LOLin'
- доLOLить - to finish/succeed in LOLin'
- наLOLиться - to have LOL'd sufficiently (actually, no, as this is impossible)
The French variation is LOLer, and is conjugated as follows (WARNING: Recite with caution; may cause random spasms of anti-Americanism!):
- je LOLe
- tu LOLes
- il/elle/on LOLe
- nous LOLons
- vous LOLez
- ils/elles LOLent
The Spanish version is LOLar, which you can use from now on to LOL on Mexicans
- Yo LOLeo
- Tu LOLeas
- El/Ella/Eso LOLea
- Nosotros LOLeamos
- Vosotros LOLeais
- Ustedes/Ellos/ellas LOLean
The Danish LOL is not close to any other danish word
- Jeg LOLler
- Du LOLler
- Han/hende/det LOLler
- Vi LOLler
- I LOLler
- De LOLler
The Norwegian LOL is observed on Karl Johan in summer months
- Jeg LOLar
- Du LOLar
- Han/hun/det LOLar
- Vi LOLar

The Italian verb that may correspond is "LOLlare". Being a verb ending in -are, it is first conjugation, therefore:
- io LOLlo
- tu LOLli
- egli/ella LOLla
- noi LOLliamo
- voi LOLlate
- essi LOLlano
the basic form adjective is "LOLloso."
The Wapanese verb is ロルする, sometimes seen as ＬＯＬする, although the latter is frowned upon by more conservative speakers. As a suru verb it is regular, except in the first person present and past conjugations where it is spelled ｗｗｗ〜 and ﾜﾛﾀ respectively. Do not confuse ロルする with ロリする or you will be banned.
The Korean verb is LOL다. Conjugation, starting with the most formal and moving down, is:

- Nobody is reading this
- Eu LOLo
- Tu LOLas

In Esperanto, the verb takes the form LOLi (not to be confused with loli)

In Lojban, the verb does not exist, as predicate logic is nevar funny.
In Tagalog, this verb is as complicated as any other, but if you must LOL with Filipino's, the actor focus infinitive is LumOL, the object focus infinitive is LOLi, notice that the Filipino's break up the lulz and enjoy LOLis.
