how do you write 'mm' in hiragana
My Japanese friends and Japanese people I have seen in shows seem to use the sound 'mm' for a general affirmation.  But is there a way to write that in hiragana>

Answer

ん in hiragana
ン  in katakana

Answer

う～ん

Answer

Yes  : うん
No :ううん
well...: うーん

Affirmation is うん.

Answer

Well, I guess it depends on the situation, but mostly it's "うーん" or "ううん".

If your Japanese friend is thinking about the answer or how to react, it's more like "うーん、、、", in this case, you may also use "えっと" in Japanese.

On the other hand, if they were trying to say NO, in Japanese, it's "ううん↑".

I guess manga lovers have more expression. Let's see if other answers come up later.
