LORE & ORIGIN

Part of the 卖萌 (act-cute) typing style of Chinese chat and forum culture, where sentence particles are respelled to sound babyish. A Sina/Cankao Xiaoxi review of 2014 netspeak (posted 2014-12-17) lists 萌萌哒, says it grew out of the earlier 么么哒, and notes that 哒 appears in cutesy speech such as 好哒 and 是哒. No single first use of the particle is documented.
