What kind of interjections do you usually use in Japanese? I’m going to introduce 50 Japanese interjections(Part2) you should be using in ordinal conversations with native speakers! Let’s get started!

Listener Responses

うーん、ふーん (hmmm)

ねぇ (Hey!)

了解りょうかい！、オッケー (Okey dokey!)

When You Are Happy

やった！イエイ！ (Yay!)

すごーい！！わーい！ (Goody!!)

やったー！ (YEAH！)

うん！ / そう！ (Yep!)

ええ～！マジ？ (Boy!)

Negative Situations

うわっ (Ugh!)

げっ / うえっ / おえっ (Yuck / Ew / Eww!)

ちぇっ！ (Dami it!)

げー！ (Gah!)

うげっ！ (Gross!)

大変たいへん！まぁ！ (My goodness!)

うーんu-n / ふーん(fu-n)

Hmmm

“うーん / ふーん” means “Hmmm” and which has been used when you are thinking something while talking to someone or even you are thinking something by yourself.

Example

うーん、聞きいたことないかな？ (Hmmm… I wonder if I’ve never heard it?) (嗯–，应该是没听说过吧。) (음, 들어 본 적이 없을까?) (Hmn, chắc tớ không biết đâu.)

うーん、明日あしたどこに行いこうか？ (Hmmm. Where will we go tomorrow?) (嗯–，明天去哪儿呢？) (음, 내일 어디 갈까?) (Hmn, vậy ngày mai đi đâu giờ?)

ふーん、そうかもしれないね。 (Hmmm. Maybe so.) (哼，也许是吧。) (음, 그럴지도 모르겠네.) (Hmm, có lẽ vậy.)

ねぇ(ne-e)

Hey

“ねぇ” means “Hey” and which has been used when you call somebody who you get along with. And you could use “ねぇねぇ” as well. “ねぇ” and “ねぇねぇ” is pretty casual so, don’t use them to your boss.

Example

たつや
ねぇ、昨日何きのうなにしてたの？ (Hey, what did you do yesterday?) (我说，你昨天做了什么？) (저기, 어제 뭐 했어?) (Này, hôm qua cậu làm gì vậy?)

ゆか
ねぇ、ねぇ！明日あしたどこ行いきたい？ (Hey hey! Where do you wanna go tomorrow?) (喂，和你说话呢， 你明天想去哪里？) (저기, 저기! 내일 어디 가고 싶어?) (Này, này!Cậu muốn đi đâu vào ngày mai?)

たつや
ねぇ、俺おれの財布さいふどこか知しらない？ (Hey, don’t you know where my wallet is?) (欸，你不知道我的钱包在哪里？) (저기, 내 지갑 어디있는지 몰라?) (Này, cậu có biết ví của tớ để ở đâu không?)

やったー(yatta-), よっしゃー(yo-ssya) / 万歳ばんざい(ban-zai), いえーい！(ie-i) /わーい(wa-i)

Yay / Hooray / Woohoo

“やったー(よっしゃー), 万歳ばんざい（いえーい）！ and わーい” means “Yay, Hooray and Woohoo” and which has been used when you are happy and excited. Both men and women can use “やったー, 万歳ばんざい！ and わーい”, however, よっしゃー has been used for men.

Example

ゆか
いえーい！宝たからくじが当あたったー！ (Hooray!!! I won the lottery.) (耶–！我中了彩票！) (오예! 복권에 당첨됐다!) (Yeah! Tôi trúng vé số rồi!)

たつや
よっしゃ、間まに合あった！ (Yay, I made it!) (太棒了，赶上了。) (좋았어, 제시간에 맞췄어!) (Được rồi, may mà kịp.)

ゆか
わーい、新あたらしい携帯けいたいゲットー！ (Woohoo, I’ve got a new cell phone!) (哇，得到一支新手机！) (와~ 새로운 핸드폰 생겼어!) (Yeah! Tớ có điện thoại di động mới nè!)

うわ〜(uwa-) / あ〜(a-)

Ugh

“うわ〜 / あ〜” means “Ugh” and which has been used when you get annoyed, feel bored and lazy etc…

Example

ゆか
うわ〜！また迷子まいごになっちゃった。 (Ugh, I got lost again.) (哎呀！ 又迷路了。) (우와~ 또 미아가 되고 말았어.) (Trời ạ! Lại lạc mất rồi.)

たつや
うわっ、めんどくせぇー。 (Ugh, so annoying….) (哇，超级麻烦的。) (아, 귀찮네~.) (Trời ạ! Phiền ghê cơ.)

ゆか

げっ(ge) / おえっ(oe) / きもい(kimoi)

Yuck / Eww

“げっ, おえっ and きもい” means “Yuck, Ew and Eww” and which have been used when you look at things which are gross or when you smell something which totally stinks or when you eat something which was rotten.

Example

ゆか
おぇっ！何なにこのニオイ？ (Yuck! What’s this smell?) (呃！ 这是什么味道？) (우웩! 이게 무슨 냄새야?) (Eo ơi! Mùi gì kinh thế này?)

たつや
げーっ、何なにこれ？マジでキモい！ (Eww, what’s this? it’s really disgusting.) (呃！这是什么？真是恶心。) (으엑, 뭐야 이거? 진짜 기분 나빠!) (Ẹc, cái gì vậy? Kinh chết đi được!)
