How does your language or region say wow?
(lemmings.world)
oh wow eh
Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say "guau", which sounds like "wow".
in my moms language: «ого!»
«вау!»
«супер!» (impressed by something ig) "super!"
oh and ух ты! i think is like a whoa or an "oh wow!'
Wicked!
Portuguese: “Uau” (woo-ah-oo)
bouuuudi ! short form of "boun dioù", or "good god"
Or just... ouah
C'est de l'occitan?
oui ! ma mamie en faisait grand usage (elle était de Lunel)
J'ai trouvé les francophones!
Bien joué ! ils étaient pas bien cachés
Tja
bleddy 'ell
holy fucking shit!
great googly moogly
By imitating Owen Wilson "woooowwww"
I've always considered myself a Waaaaaaow Owen Wilson kind of gal.
Wow
Hala! is wow in Tagalog, Filipino language
Wow! or Wahnsinn! or Krass! - German
Boah!
Çüș!
I didn't know how to write it, but it also crossed my mind. "TschüÜSCH!" felt very wrong.
Ay Caramba!
Łał!
Wow!
O ja Cię kręcę!
O chuj/kurwa!
Ja jebe!
Obv last two are casual :D
Gg on taking up polish, not easy language to learn
Vau in lithuanian :3
Ammata udu! (Ammata means "to mom", no idea what udu means)
Leck Oasch
Wauw!
Wah
But that's just the polish, phonetic way of "wow". Like saying "uao" in norwegian. But considering that's a foreign word our equivalent would be more like "dæven", a soft variation of "Devil".
Basically "What the devil?!"
Godnondeju
Vaŭ
In Esperanto
"Holy Wah!"
In my family, it's always been "Ho-ly shit!"
