I agree with Gavin that some words are used to denote mood. However, it is not as common or as structured as in Chinese. English relies a lot more on the inflection of the speaker's voice to show mood rather than a specific word all the time.

我帮你修改一下你的英文: I'm sorry I asked my question in chinese last time, this time I will ask my question in english.^_^ Can you tell me, are there mood words in english? 1.那不是吉姆嘛! pinyin:na bu shi Jim ma! english : That's not Jim! and in pinyin the last "ma" expresses a surprised mood, I called it a "mood word" 2.哈哈,你骗我吧? pinyin:haha,ni pian wo ba? english:haha, you're lying/joking, right? and in pinyin the last "ba" expresses a suggestive tone. 3.小孩子,不要爬树哦! pinyin:xiao hai zi,bu yao pa shu o. english: kid, you shouldn't climb trees! so,can you tell me some words like the ones above? ,^_^, 英文没有你说的这些"固定的"单词, 楼上的人说的没错但是你要记住, 没有什么 吧? = right? 之类的标准翻译. 要看每一句话的意思而不是一个一个单词来翻译的才对的. 例如: "没有这个书." 很中国人翻译成 "no this book" 但这个不行了, 要知道这句话的意思... 1. 是"这个根本就不\存在"的意思吗? 那就是That/this book doesn't exist. 2. 是"这里(一个书店)没有这本书"的意思吗? 那就是They don't have this book (in store)

You're right it is a bit of a strange question but there are some words like this. 'Oh' shows surprise. 'Oh, I'm late for a meeting'. 'Hey' can be used as a colloquial hello, also shows surprise, but is more enthusiastic 'Hey, look at that'. 'Eh' (pronounced A) is a question sound 'Eh, I don't understand this' Many people turn statements into questions, it's a style of speech. Words like 'Eh', 'Like', 'Innit' are added. Sometimes to every statement the person makes, which can get very annoying. But words can then be used to add humour, poking fun at the people that overuse them (especially 'Eh' and 'Innit')
