эх = "OH my GOD!!!" in American English (my reaction when I saw that Sennin had forgotten 'э')
The funny thing is that something similar can be found at the other end of the alphabet: ах! (another Russian interjection, something like "Oh no" in English) ахать = to say "ах" Edited by Iversen on 07 November 2009 at 10:26pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |

арс
Not related to English "arse" but rather to Latin "ursus". It's the Ossetian word for "bear". 1 person has voted this message useful | |
