Default Convey strong emotion with exclamatory words

When you feel something strongly, you can use several short phrases that convey your emotions and draw the listner's attention to it.

Let's start with "ecco." here is there is

Use it if somebody you have been waiting for finally arrives.

Oh, eccoti qua! Come stai?! Oh, there you are! How are you?!
Oh, EHK-coe-tee qua!

Dov'e Maria? Eccola! Where is Maria? Here she is!

Mio dio! Hai visto i miei occhiali?! Eccoli! (EHK-coe-lee) My heavens. Have you seen my glasses?! Here they are!

"Ecco domani!" Here's to tomorrow! As a toast.
"Ecco" - Here is, there is
"Eccomi" - Here I am
"Eccolo" - Here it is (masculine)

Che! What!
Che cosa! What!
Ma che dice!? What are you saying!?

Che disgrazia! What a terrible accidente!
Che peccato! What a pity!
Che bel bambini! What beautiful children!

Quanto! How much!

Quanta gente! So many people!
Quanto hai speso! You spent so much!
Quanto sono stati gentile! How kind they were!

Come! How! What!

Com'e pesante quella valigia!

Tanto - so much

Ti amo tanto! I love you so much!
Ti voglio tanto! I love you so much!

Te amo tanto! Spanish

Tanti soldi! So much money! That much money!

Default permettimi aggiungere

Ciao Villa,
che buon posto. Non posso stare in disparte e perciò permettimi aggiungere ancora un po’.

Che bella giornata! What a lovely day!
Che carina! How cute!
Che figuraccia! How embarrassing!
Che sbadata che sei! How careless you are!
Che schifo! How disgusting!
Che sorpresa! What a surprise!

Come mai? How come?

Ecco fatto!There we are!

Ma com’è mai possibile? But how it’s possible?
Ma dai! Come on!
Ma dai, davvero? Come on, really?
Meno male! Thank goodness!

You both made a great work, just a few corrections in bold above.

Default grazie per correzioni

Zidanie5, you are really back. Grazie!
In fatti ho problemi con “Proposizioni infinitive” :
andare a +inf
avere voglia di + inf
eccetera.
Ma non so perchè invece scrivere “post” ho scritto “posto”. I don’t know what I was thinking about...

Perche non hai aggiunto nessuna espressione? Non vuoi?
Come on!
