Any idea how this pop-culture catchphrase can be best translated to English? Like in "weh, di nga". TagaSanPedroAko (talk) 19:55, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
- @TagaSanPedroAko non-gloss: a particle of disbelief? We have a lot of untranslatable particles that we can just tell the use like nga, ba, eh, 'no. Also I don't think it's pop-culture, maybe just millenial speak. Ysrael214 (talk) 02:45, 24 April 2023 (UTC)
- Ah OK. Would add that then.

This is given as a variant spelling of wah - which has two defs - 1. A cry of fright, distress, etc., 2. A cry of amazement, delight, etc. I don't know that "weh" has the same two meanings. Also, the entry has a Usage note: The word is often extended, for instance "wehhhhhhh", "weeeeeeh", etc. The latter of these two seems to be a variant of whee not wah, the former, well, I am unfamiliar with it to say the least.-Sonofcawdrey (talk) 08:04, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- I searched Usenet, but gave up after all I found were the initialism WEH, German or Indonesian words, and the lolcat spelling of we. Khemehekis (talk)
