Yikes ni mshangao kama lo, hapana! au jambo baya sana. Watu huitumia kuitikia habari au kitu kinachowatisha, kuwatia wasiwasi au kuwashangaza vibaya. Si rasmi lakini si tusi: husemwa kwa sauti na huandikwa kwenye ujumbe.

Kilichobadilika
Toleo la kwanzaYou got the job? Yikes, congratulations!
Baada ya marekebishoYou got the job? Wow, congratulations!
Yikes inaweza kuonekana kuwa neno la kila aina ya mshangao, lakini hutoa hofu au mshtuko, hivyo congratulations mara baada yake husikika ajabu. Kwa mshangao wa kufurahisha, tumia wow.
Oops pia ni mshangao mfupi, lakini huhusu kosa dogo ulilofanya: Oops, I sent it to the wrong chat. Yikes huhusu jambo linalotia wasiwasi: Yikes, the car is making a strange noise. Katika IELTS Speaking, unaweza kusema It was quite a shock au That was really worrying badala ya yikes. Katika insha, eleza wasiwasi kwa maneno kama worrying au alarming badala ya miito ya mshangao.
