Interjection expressions!
|
|
Hello all,
Since I �m runing out of stamps. Im designing new ones with phrases like � �Very good � � and so.
But I �d like also to add some interjection sounds/expressions ( I dont know what to call them) like:
� �aw � --> when something is sad
� �ouch � � --> when you get hurt.
Do you have any others that can be put on the stamps????
Thank you very much!!!!
Miss Melissa.  |

Yeah [j�] ("yes"),
Ugh [ʌx] ("disgusting!"),
Whew / Phew [ɸɪu] ("what a relief!")
Oh no!
eh? ("what is this?")

I think that in general, these words/sounds are called interjections but if you want to specify, then you call them exclamations. There are many of them in English and they are particularly put into spoken language.
Check the link below. It contains some examples of exclamations with their meaning and usage, so that may be useful to you:
