Definition
嗬 (hē) is an interjection that conveys surprise, admiration, or a sudden realization. It's like saying "oh!" or "ah!" in English, but it often carries a more animated or impressed tone. You'll hear it in casual conversations, especially when someone notices something unexpected or impressive. Always use it at the start of an utterance, followed by a comma or exclamation mark.
