How to express surprise in German

posted 1 year ago

Last time we learned some interjections to use when expressing disgust. Today, let’s focus on more positive stuff: like surprise! (damn, do I love (good) surprises ;))

So let’s imagine a friend surprises you with something really awesome. You’d either use:

1. Wow! (I know, we love English ;))

2. Ui!

3. Meine Güte! (and then add something like “that’s great” - das ist toll)

4. Holla die Waldfee! (LOL. This is an expression used among my group of friends when something really good but kinda weird surprises us. die Waldfee = wood fairy)

5. Na sowas!
