    Imagine your face is shiny. This is from excitement. 'Wakuwaku' means excited. 'Teka teka' means shiny. So 'wktk' means you are very excited.

    This is different from other internet words. For example, 'w' means laughing. 'kwsk' asks for more details. 'wktk' shows you are excited. It does not ask for things. It does not show a reaction. It shows your own feeling.

    Don't use this when you speak. Don't use it in formal writing. For example, don't use it in a business email.

    Use this when you want to show you are excited. It means you are looking forward to something good. It is like saying "I can't wait!"
