Pälä-pälä-pälä in Finnish.
ä marks the sound marked with "a" in "cat".
Huh. Sounds a lot like Japanese ペラペラ (perapera) which is used to denote incessant talking/blabbering (but also fluently talking in another language).
Or "plaa-plaa-plaa"
'bla-bla-bla' (French).
More spelling are available: 'blabla', 'bla-bla', 'bla-bla-bla'.
"da da da" in Spanish.
Ooh.. Spain? Or where in latam?
bla bla bla (german)
GenX:
Whatever, man.
🤌🤌🤌 in ISL (Italian sign language).
Blablabla (french) or sometimes "et blablabli et blablabla" (south-east at least)
English here. One of the few things I remember from my French lessons was a comic where one character said it «... et patati, et patata.»
I forget where in France that was supposed to be. We'd moved on from the Tricolor books set in La Rochelle (west coast) at that point, I think, but it might still have been there.
"bilmem ne bilmem ne", "dı dı" in turkish
Blá blá blá, blábláblá, and other variations in Portuguese
in spanish it's just bla bla bla
In french it's "hon hon hon blah blah blah hon hon"
Wow so bla bla bla is fairly universal
noop; noop; noop;
bla bla bla (English)
