Sotho Parts of Speech - Interjectives

Interjectives

Interjectives are isolated words or groups of words of an exclamatory nature, used to express emotion, or for the purpose of calling attention, giving commands, or conveying assent or dissent. They may themselves also constitute complete sentences, without the use of predicates.

In the Bantu languages interjectives may be divided into three types:

  1. Radical interjectives, or interjections,
  2. Vocatives, and
  3. Verb imperatives.
