=Interjections=, being mere exclamations, do not stand in grammatical
relation to any other word in the sentence.
They are elliptical sentences, as--
iOh! (I am surprised, etc.).
The principal Interjections in Spanish are the following--
caramba, caspita (these express practically all kinds of emotions)
ay[172] (oh! grief or threat)
bah, ca, quia (humph!)
ce, hola, ola (I say!)
chito, chiton (shut up!)
cuidado, iojo! (attention! look out!)
ea (come!)
he (hey)
huy (oh! physical pain)
ojala (oh, that)
por Dios (for heaven's sake)
tate, zape (what! (surprise))
tonterias (nonsense!)
uf (oh! weariness or fatigue)
[Footnote 172: This can govern a noun or pronoun, as--iAy de mi! Woe to
me! iAy de Pedro! Woe to Peter!]
As well as _Ah_ or _Ha_, _Oh_ or _O_ as in English, and many words used
as exclamations, as--
iSilencio! icalle! icalle la boca (silence! hush! shut your mouth!)
ivamos! (much used), (come! come now!)
ique lastima! (what a pity!)
ipoco a poco! (gently, Sir!)
iheteme[173] aqui! (here I am!)
ihetelos[173] aqui! (here they are, etc.)
[Footnote 173: _Te_--ethical dative.]
