Spanish: así así

Actually, it'd be "mas o menos", which literally translates to "more or less" but it's used as "so so". "asi" means "Liks this".

In Norway many use the term 'bob-bob', which is no official word but rather an expression stemming from a 1990s Christmas television series (The Julekalender) which portrayed a strange mix of Norwegian and English. Check out this site for more about this this series.

Esperanto translation of "so so":

I would say: "tiel cxi".

("tiel tiel" is not used in Esperanto)
