As another slav, we use smeh for laughter or smilih, nasmeh for just smiling, and krohot for just intense laughter. We also find The American Smile to be weird. Especially the forced toothy grin part. Took me years of practice and Americans still can’t tell when I’m smiling while everyone back home thinks I’ve gone crazy.
