Interjections

These are exclamations that do not fit the syntactic rules of the other parts of speech, hence their classification among the particles. All interjections end with the same vowel, either naturally,

ta  um

ti’a てあ oh!

or because the interjection marker -a ・あ has derived them from nouns or verbs.

mica みや hello

nara なら goodbye; good night

hacca はっや good morning

kica きや what?

hira ひら please; thank-you
