interjections

Please take these Chinese interjections seriously and make an effort to enunciate them:

吗   mā;  呢    ne;   啊   a;     呀  ya;   吧   ba;   呗   bei,   哦   òu;   嗯    un;

They are very important in oral communication, just as those interjections in English:

  • huh
  • ahh
  • duh
  • oops
  • eek
  • oh
  • gee
  • wow
  • gosh
