Sounds as Interjections
There are certain words or sounds – some of them easier to pronounce than to spell – which may be classified as interjections. To mention a few:
|
Бррр! |
Brrrr! |
|
Тьфу! |
Faugh! |
|
Угу (pronounced with the mouth closed) |
Yes |
|
У-у (pronounced with the mouth closed) |
No |
|
Гм |
Hum, Ahem |
|
Хм |
Humph |
|
Кхе-кхе |
Ahem (cough) |
|
Апчхи! |
Atchoo! |
|
Цыц! |
shut up |
|
Тссс, Тччч |
Shhh, Hush |
|
Мммм... |
Emm... |
|
Хух! Фух! |
Phew! (tiredness or relief) |
These "words" are undoubtedly many milleniums old and probably the oldest in the language – going back to the days of Primitive Man.
