2. What is 3q short for in messages?

Thank you

if someone messages you "3q," they are most likely saying "thank you." It is a phonetic abbreviation, similar to 10q, where the 3 represents "than" and the "q" represents "kyou."

3q gained usage in the late-1990s as one of many online chat abbreviations. People typically send it when messaging or texting gratitude. For example, your friend may text you, "That helped a lot. 3q," after you helped her study for a test.

Although 3q has been around for many years, it is still uncommon. There are much better ways (that will not confuse people) to digitally send your thanks, such as thx, TY, TU, or TQVM.

Example

3q 4 dinner last nite!
You bet! Glad you could make it
