What does ㄟ,ㄝ,ㄏㄡ,ㄋㄟ mean? When I was traveling in Taiwan, I often heard Taiwanese people say these things in their sentences - ei, e, hou, nei. Sorry, I don't know the Chinese characters for them. Can anyone explain how to use them?

Hello, Nathan. These words are interjection. We just use these words to express our emotion or call someone. "ei, e" in our sentences are used to call someone, a bit like "hey" in English sentences. And "ei, e" usually put at the beginning of a sentence. "hou, nei" are used to express impatience in sentences, and are usually put at the end of a sentence.
