The word ‘poke’ has become more than just a casual act in the digital age, thanks to zynga’s popular game “Poke”! And it is used as a new slang term which might have found its roots among young people in Vietnam. In English, ‘poke’ is an entirely different word — usually referring to a little push or jab — that’s not as widely used today, but it has been repurposed in social media and messaging.

The definition of the word poke is often related to a way of getting someone’s attention on the internet. When you ‘poke’ someone, you’re simply letting him or her know that you two should talk or get together. In Vietnam, the word ‘poke in slang’ is also used to describe such act, especially when performed online (like on Facebook), which has since become popular.

Understanding the poke meaning in Vietnamese slang can give you a better understanding to get around on social media. Poke was originally used to send friendly signals, intended links to friends without the effort of sending out a whole message. This is why poke in slang has become so popular it’s sort of a discreet way to make contact.

Thus, the poke meaning in Vietnamese has evolved from its literal sense to develop into an informal expression or “plaything” of young people among Vietnamese. Whether in online chats or body language, understanding the poke in slang can deepen your knowledge of contemporary communication styles in Vietnam.
