EXCLAMATION

Definition: In written Spanish, a system of double punctuation is used. An upside down question mark is placed at the beginning of a question and the usual question mark is written at the end of it. Similarly, an inverted exclamation mark indicates the beginning of an exclamation, while the ordinary exclamation mark shows the end of the sentence.

Exclamatory words as well as interrogative expressions have written accents. The most common one is (¡!) and ¡Qué...! Used in front of an adjective, adverb or noun:

Examples in Spanish:

My goodness!
¡Caramba!

Of course!
¡Claro!

Help!
¡Socorro!

How delicious!
¡Qué delicioso!

I'm so sorry!
¡Lo siento mucho!

How aweful!
¡Qué barbaridad!

What a mess!
¡Qué lío!

How easily you do it!
¡Qué fácilmente lo haces tú!

What a pretty house!
¡Qué casa más bonita!

What happy children!
¡Qué niños tan alegres!

Watch out!
¡Cuidado!

Don't tell me!
¡No me digas!

What a shame!
¡Qué lástima!
