Spanish interjection / exclamation
An interjection or exclamation is the utterance of a particular sound, word or phrase to express an emotion. In most languages, interjections are used in isolation, meaning that they have no grammatical relationship with surrounding words.
For example
- ¡Oye! - Hey!
- ¡Oh! - Oh!
- ¡Ay! - Ouch!
- ¡Puaj! - Yuck!
- ¡Anda ya! - Come on!
Real words and expressions can also be used as interjections:
- ¡Por Dios! - Good grief!
- ¡En serio! - No way!
- Estoy sin blanca, o sea, no tengo dinero. - I am skint, I mean, I have no money.
