Yeah, Mandarin has a bunch of exclamative words that are used in speech by rarely written. (except in movie subtitles, web chat etc..)

Exclamative words are have a feeling to them but no precise defintion.

ha = laughing (very similar to english)
hee = I am so angry
heeh = usually used when injured
hē = yawning
hēi = similar to English "hey"
éi = what?
nu = I am angry
hu = tired

Exclamation is regularly used in Chinese in order to emphasize.exclamations have abundant meaning.let me introduce some exclamations briefly
for example:
1、啊 a(first tone)express surprise or highly prise
(second tone & third tone)express doubt
(forth tone)express response
2、哎 ai(first tone)express confound、dissatisfied
3、唉 ai (first tone)express response
(forth tone) express disappointed
4 、喂(wei forth tone)& 嗨 (hai first tone)similar to "hi、hello"
