Interjection - āφāĻŦ⧇āĻ—āϏ⧂āϚāĻ• āĻĒāĻĻ

An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses sudden or strong emotion or reaction. It is often used to convey feelings such as surprise, happiness, excitement, pain, or anger, and is usually followed by an exclamation mark.

 

Interjections do not have a grammatical connection with other parts of the sentence—they stand alone and often serve as a way to convey the speaker’s feelings quickly and directly.
