"I just found out I got the job.", Yay! / Nice! / Sweet! / Wow! — "Yay! You totally deserved it!" — good news, so use a happy interjection, "I dropped my phone in the toilet this morning.", Yikes! / Ugh! / Ouch! — "Yikes! Is it completely dead?" — something bad happened, so use alarm or disgust, "The dentist says I need three fillings.", Ouch! / Yikes! / Ugh! — "Ouch! How much is that going to cost you?" — painful and expensive, so use something that shows discomfort, "I haven't slept in two days.", Ugh! / Yikes! / Ahhh — "Ugh! What's been keeping you up?" — they are suffering, so use sympathy or annoyance, "My neighbour's dog barks all night, every night.", Ugh! / Yeesh! / Yikes! — "Yeesh! Have you spoken to them about it?" — an annoying situation, so use an annoyed interjection, "I just ate the best pizza of my life.", Mmm! / Nice! / Wow! — "Mmm! Where was it from?" — food and pleasure, so mmm is the most natural choice, "I left my passport at home and I'm at the airport.", Yikes! / Aah! / Oops! — "Yikes! How long do you have before your flight?" — a stressful emergency, so use alarm or panic, "I just got a speeding ticket.", Ugh! / Yikes! / Ouch! — "Ouch! How fast were you going?" — bad news with a cost, so use discomfort or alarm, "My boss gave me the whole week off.", Yay! / Nice! / Sweet! / Wow! — "Nice! What are you going to do with the time?" — unexpected good news, so use enthusiasm, "I sat in something on the bus and I don't know what it was.", Ew! / Yikes! / Ugh! — "Ew! Please tell me you checked before you sat down again." — something dirty or unknown, so disgust is the most natural reaction, "My flight got cancelled and there are no more today.", Ugh! / Yikes! / Aah! — "Ugh! Are they putting you on another one today?" — frustrating bad news, so use annoyance, "I found €50 in a jacket I hadn't worn in years.", Yay! / Wow! / Nice! — "Nice! That's the universe paying you back." — a small lucky surprise, so use mild positive enthusiasm, "I accidentally sent a voice message to the wrong person.", Oops! / Aah! / Ugh! — "Oops! What did it say?" — a careless mistake, so oops fits best, "My upstairs neighbour has been moving furniture around since 6am.", Ugh! / Yeesh! / Yikes! — "Yeesh! Have you knocked on their door?" — an ongoing irritation, so use annoyance, "I won tickets to see my favourite band.", Yay! / Woohoo! / Yes! — "Woohoo! When is it?" — very exciting news, so use the most enthusiastic interjections, "I burned my tongue on my coffee.", Ouch! / Ow! / Aah! — "Ouch! Did it blister?" — physical pain, so use an interjection that shows hurt, "My landlord just put the rent up again.", Ugh! / Yeesh! / Yikes! — "Ugh! How much has it gone up?" — unfair and frustrating, so use annoyance, "I just realised I've been walking around all day with my shirt on inside out.", Aah! / Ugh! / Gah! — "Gah! How did nobody tell you?" — embarrassing situation, so use surprise or embarrassment, "Someone left a cake in the office kitchen and it's incredible.", Mmm! / Nice! / Wow! — "Mmm! What kind is it?" — something tasty, so mmm is the most natural choice, "I locked myself out of my flat in my pyjamas.", Yikes! / Aah! / Ugh! — "Yikes! How long were you stuck out there?" — an embarrassing and uncomfortable situation, so use alarm or discomfort, "I just bought a new car.", Whoa! / Cool! / Nice! — "Whoa! What kind is it?" — big or impressive news, so whoa shows you are genuinely struck by it, "I think you might be sitting in my seat.", Ahem! — "Ahem! Could you check your ticket?" — you need someone's attention politely, so ahem is the natural choice, "Everyone be quiet, the film is starting.", Shh! — "Shh! I've been waiting to see this." — asking for silence, so shh is the only real option, "I'm thinking of moving to Australia. What do you think?", Hmm! — "Hmm, that's a big decision. Have you thought it through?" — you need a moment to think, so hmm buys you time, "We won! Can you believe it?", Hurray! / Woohoo! / Yay! — "Hurray! I knew we could do it!" — a shared victory, so the most celebratory interjections fit best, "So I told him what I thought and he just walked off. You know what I mean?", Uh-huh / Mhm / Eh? — "Uh-huh, some people just can't handle the truth." — they are checking you agree, so a backchannel works best, "And then she said she'd never liked the job anyway… and I didn't know what to say.", Ahhh / Mhm / Uh-huh — "Ahhh, that must have been awkward." — they are telling a story so show you are listening, "The speed that guy was going… I've never seen anything like it.", Whoa! / Wow! — "Whoa! How fast was he going?" — something impressive or shocking, so whoa fits better than wow here, "Sorry, could everyone just stop talking for a second?", Ahem! / Shh! — "Ahem! Thank you everyone." — politely getting attention in a group, so ahem is the most natural, "I'm not sure… maybe we go left? Or right? What do you think?", Hmm / Uh / Um — "Hmm, I think left but I'm not sure either." — uncertainty and thinking out loud, so a pause interjection fits best
