diay
A versatile interjection used to express surprise, frustration, or to prompt someone. It functions like 'well,' 'so,' or 'hey' depending on the context. (It is the most characteristic Costa Rican filler word, derived from 'de ahí').
diay, I have been waiting for 3 hours, jerk; diay, it has been so long since I saw you; and diay, what are you going to do?
