French 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
- Hé ! - Hey!
- Oh ! - Oh!
- Aïe ! - Ouch!
- Beurk ! - Yuck!
Real words and expressions can also be used as interjections:
- Ça alors ! - Good grief!
- Eh bien ! - Indeed!
