In Japanese they have words at the end o sentences that covey the feeling. So basically smilies but actually words.

I think it means the lengthening of the end of the sentence.

Example: "This is so cooooool!"

that makes more sense. I have seen them repeat the final vowel too, like たああああ,it might be an abbreviated version of this.

yeah it is an informal way of conveying the lengthening of the last vowel which makes the sentence more expressive or emotional as far as i know

(also, shijisei o nanopitta, what does that mean?)
TT: I guess one could use those words to describe it.

I was wondering about that, too.
I tried to translate, but got nothing out of it.
