Exclamatory sentences are sentences used to express strong emotion. In Chinese, exclamations are commonly realized using interjections, repetition, specific structures, or intonation. Both written and spoken language can use exclamatory sentences, but their forms may differ. Exclamatory sentences can stand alone as a sentence or be embedded in dialogue.

'Ah' is often placed at the end of a sentence, expressing emotions such as surprise, happiness, pain, or dissatisfaction. It can accompany an entire declarative sentence or a short phrase. When the tone is strong, in speech the vowel may be elongated or the intonation emphasized. In writing, only a single 'ah' is needed, not repeated letters.

'Really + Adjective' expresses the speaker's subjective feeling, often used for astonishment, praise, or complaint. This structure can stand alone as a sentence, or can take an object to supplement information. In pronunciation it usually carries an exclamatory intonation, but the written form remains unchanged.

'Too... Much' expresses a very high degree and is often exclamatory. In spoken language it's commonly used for surprise, admiration, or dissatisfaction. The middle usually fills with an adjective or a mental verb. When the tone is strong you can add 'Ah' or repeat it.

'How + Adjective' is used to exclaim the intensity of a certain attribute. The full form is common in written language or more formal occasions, in speech the subject is often omitted or simplified. It can also be used embedded in a sentence as a modifier.

Common Chinese interjections include 'Wow','Ya','Ai-ya' or 'Eh', etc., to trigger instantaneous emotional reactions. They usually appear alone or at the beginning of a sentence, and can also pair with 'ah'. Different interjections tend to express different emotional tones. When choosing, select the word that best fits the specific context.

Repeated words can intensify emotion, such as repeating adjectives or verbs. Common in spoken language, used to emphasize feelings or states. Repetition makes tone more intimate, sometimes with a light or exaggerated color. Structurally it is usually AABB or word repetition.

Questions with emotional color can function as exclamations, indicating disbelief or strong attention. They often use rhetorical questions or rising intonation. Structurally it's a question, but functionally it's expressing emotion rather than a pure inquiry. In writing, pay attention to context to judge the tone.

Imperative sentences with interjections or exclamatory tone can express strong emotion. Common in admonitions, reminders, or when emotionally agitated. Can pair with 'ah' or 'ya' or repetition. Functionally both directive and emotional.

Colloquial exclamations commonly use interjections and repetition, flexible forms, and direct emotion. Written language tends to use more complete exclamatory structures such as 'How,' 'Really,' and 'Too.../ Too...!' resulting in a more restrained tone. The same meaning can be expressed with different expressions to sound more natural. In formal writing, heavy use of exclamations is generally avoided.
