We can also attach -nya to an adjective to make an exclamatory remark<br />
about something. In a sentence, this exclamation usually comes before<br />
the noun or noun phrase that we exclaim about. For example, if we<br />
want to say how beautiful a flower is, then the word 'beautiful' comes<br />
first and 'flower' follows.<br />
Cantikm bunga ini!<br />
Adjective + nyo Noun phrase<br />
How beautiful this flower is!<br />

Sulitnya<br />

How difficult<br />
ujian itu!<br />
Noun phrase<br />
the exam was!<br />
Nakalnya anak ini!<br />
Adjective + nyo Noun phrase<br />
How naughty this child is!<br />
We can, of course, use an exclamation to pay someone a compliment or<br />
to express surprise, exasperation, a sense of wonder and so on. Often<br />
people do not bother to mention the noun phrase because what they are<br />
exclaiming about is understood from context.<br />
Enakm!<br />
How delicious! (for example, referring to food)<br />
Dingin-<br />
So cold! (for example, referring to the weather) -<br />
We can also add another exclamatory word, such as aduh, wah or<br />
ampun, in front of the adjective to give the exclamation more force.<br />
Aduh, petit=!<br />
My goodness, how scunm!<br />
Wah, baum!<br />
Literal?.. Wow, the smell! (for example, referring to fragrant or bad smell)<br />
+ Wow, the smells nice! or Oh, that stinks!<br />
Ampun, nakalw<br />
My goodness, so naughty! (for example, referring to a child's behaviour)<br />

Make up an exclamatory expression using -nya for each of the following<br />
situations. Add an excl&atory word in front of your adjective to<br />
reinforce it. You can mention the noun phrase after the adjective, if you<br />
wish. The adjectives are underlined to help you,<br />
