I want to know more Arabic expressions like " Ya salam"!
I want to know Arabic expressions that are commonly used in conversation. For example " Ya salam" is for interest, astonishment and wonder. " Khousara" is like saying "what a pity." "Bgad/ Bjad/ 3njad " can be used to say "really?" ect.
Is there a expression like "Oh my God" when you can't believe something? Is it " Ya rab"?
Is there also a expression of regret or dissatisfaction when something goes wrong?
I would love to learn more expressions from people because usually books don't teach this kind of stuff that is also important in communication.

there's allot of expression you can use for the single word but for example
Oh My God : Ya elahi ,, Ya allah ,, Ya Lal Hawl
for something goes wrong : Egyptian accent : "ma eysahesh ما يصحش ,, ya housti يا حوستي ,, ya lahwi يا لهوي ,,ya nhar aswad يا نهار اسود "
in Jordanian accent : ya weeli يا ويلي ,, ya sater يا ساتر
