How to say “Ah” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
واها لفصاحتي شوت أكباد حسدتي فلا بطل الشوى،
Ah, my eloquence scorched the livers of my enviers, yet the hide was not consumed.
وَاهًا — Ah. This is an exclamation of sighing or longing, a standalone emotional cry rather than a part of the sentence's grammar. It stands outside the clause structure, setting an admiring or wistful tone for the line that follows.
