Lesson 45

      Interjections                       Pasthirrmat

An interjection is a word or phrase that is grammatically independent from the words around it, and is mainly used to show strong emotion, feeling, surprise, or excitement rather than meaning. Interjections can show triumph (hurray), happinedd (yippee), anger (domn), disgust (ugh), surprise (aha), astonishment (wow), hesitation (uh, um), or any other emotion.

Nje pasthirrme eshte nje fjale ose nje shprehje e cila eshte gramatikisht e pavarur nga fjalet perreth saj, dhe perdoret per te treguar emocione te forta, ndjesi, surprizim, ose entuziazm me shume sesa kuptim. Pasthirrmat mund te tregojne triumfin (hurray), lumturi (yippee), zemerim (domn), jo pelqim (uhg), surprizim (aha), habi (wow), hezitim (uh, um) ose emocione te tjera.
