How does your language or region say wow?
(lemmings.world)
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.
Hala! is wow in Tagalog, Filipino language
Ay Caramba!
Wow! or Wahnsinn! or Krass! - German
Çüș!
I didn't know how to write it, but it also crossed my mind. "TschüÜSCH!" felt very wrong.
Would also be acceptable, although mine is the non-Germanised version of it 😄 vallah
Boah!
Vau in lithuanian :3
Wauw!
Wah
Leck Oasch
Ammata udu! (Ammata means "to mom", no idea what udu means)
Godnondeju
oh wow eh
Tja
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?!"
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!'
"Holy Wah!"
Oh, we use all kinds of slurrs for that. Actually, to avoid slurs you can say "guau", which sounds like "wow".
Vaŭ
In Esperanto
Portuguese: “Uau” (woo-ah-oo)
Wicked!
In my family, it's always been "Ho-ly shit!"
Wow
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
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!
Oh punaise ! Enfin des mots français !
Bien joué ! ils étaient pas bien cachés
