@Ferise1 - I cannot think of a linguistic scenario where such a word would be required in English

@UKNaturist true but in French we use it we say “il est rieur” -he is a laugher it’s a playful expression that says he’s gonna laugh at you it’s his personality or mood…
Also laughing seagulls we say “mouette rieuse” -laugher seagull
