Hi guys, I would like to know how is the word ' เอ๋ย ' being used. Is it colloquial in daily conversation among friends? I have did a read-up, its used after the end of a exclamation or a question. Isn't it?

To me it indicates lament or yearning, and is kind of equivalent to the English "Oh ____". It's often used at the end of the first line in songs, especially ลูกทุ่ง songs, in the same way that "Oh/O" is used (in the first example that comes to mind) in the Canadian national anthem, "O Canada". (Translated, I guess it would be "แคนาดาเอ๋ย".biggrin.gif)
