用法

  • Sighing interjection placed at the start of a clause: 唉,别提了 (āi, bié tí le) - "ugh, don't even mention it".
  • Conveys resignation, regret, or weary frustration, often followed by an explanation of what went wrong.
  • Contrast with 哎, which expresses surprise or calls attention rather than sighing.
  • Common in spoken narration and dialogue, rare in formal writing except quoted speech.
