Notes
GENERAL INFO
Oh is an interjection meaning "oh". It expresses a range of emotions like surprise, understanding, disappointment, or relief, very much like its English counterpart.
USAGE
Frequently used: `Oh non!` (Oh no!), `Oh oui!` (Oh yes!), `Oh, je comprends!` (Oh, I understand!). It's a key part of `Oh là là!`, a versatile exclamation for surprise, admiration, dismay, or exasperation.
TRAPS
While straightforward, avoid translating every English "oh" directly. Depending on the nuance, other French interjections like `Ah!` might be more natural than `oh` alone.
