Interjections: These are mostly sounds we make to express sudden emotions such as surprise, delight, displeasure, disappointment, pain, things like that.
هي اصوات نصدرها لنعبر بها عن مشاعر مفاجئة

Expressing pleasant surprise: Wow!
Expressing sudden pain: Ouch!
Expressing a negative reaction to unpleasant sensations of sight, touch, smell or taste: Ugh!
Expressing delight with an outcome: Yippee!
Expressing positive relief: Phew!
Expressing a negative reaction to having done something wrong by accident: Oops!

Feifei: Hello, Finn. You are very talkative so I want to make a bet with you.
Finn: Hi, Feifei. OK. What's the bet then?
Feifei: Well, we're going to have a chat for the next few minutes and I bet you can't
express your feelings without using proper words.
Finn: Mmmm… OK, so no proper words. But I can use interjections, can't I?
Feifei: Interjections?
Finn: Yes. These are mostly sounds we make to express sudden emotions such as
surprise, delight, displeasure, disappointment, pain, things like that. We use
them more when we speak than when we write.
Feifei: OK. Here we go. I have just bought this dress…
Finn: Wow!
Feifei: Yes. I know you're pleasantly surprised. It's by a very famous designer. It
was the last one in the shop and cost a lot of money. There was this woman
in the shop who wanted the dress too. She tried to snatch it from me and
she pinched my arm like this… I'll do it to you…
Finn: Ouch!
Feifei: You felt a sudden pain, didn't you? She did that to me. It was really painful.
Look at my bruise. Look!
Finn: Ugh!
Feifei: It's not a pretty sight, is it? It's unpleasant to look at. And… well, I think you
won the bet, Finn.
Finn: Yippee!
Feifei: You're obviously delighted - happy with the outcome of our bet. You can
speak normally now. I know you're bursting to use proper words!
Finn: Phew!
Feifei: An expression of relief. Come on, Finn. Talk to me. I miss hearing you
speak.
