    We in the south only say "zack-zack" (for hurry up), we don't have time for the third one! :-) And you forgot one of the most efficient of German words: "So!". Germans say that, when they are done with something and are very satisfied with the outcome, or when they are to begin something with energy. Can't really be translated. There is an American comedian, Gayle Tufts, who did a part of a show on this (in German, she lives in Berlin, I think). She is very funny, check her out ...

    We don't know Ajo in NRW at least where I come from. However, I have relatives in the south and now live in RLP and I've therefore added it to my vocabulary. It is the most handy word ever. Someone tells you something and you don't know what advise would be good? "Ajo". Someone is getting on your nerves and wants your opinion on something irrelevant? "Ajo"
    They are basically talking to themselves at this point but you don't want to be rude? "Ajo" is a great answer to act like you listened.
    It's also a great answer to "Na", which I've otherwise always been puzzled about as to how to answer it.

    This was so nice! I never thought about those. There's so many of those sounds actually.
    Some of the sounds are different in Bavaria though. We don't say "gell", it's "ghæ" or "ghæi". Also we don't use "nö". Instead it's "nah" or a short "ghæ" or "ah gæh" or "gæ wàida". We also use "mài" very, very much for very different meanings. It can express disappointment or joy. It also can mean that you don't care at all. "Mài o mài" means either you find something stupid or you find it really sad or worrying.
    "Hmhm" and "mhm" mean yes. "M m" means no.
    "Hä?" in Bavaria is "ha?"
    If something inconvenient happens and it's your fault and you feel embarrassed about it, in Bavaria we say "äha" or "jeggal". To express your sympathy for a person in that situation we say "hoppala".
    To express anxiety we say "Uiuiui" and if we're suprised positively we say "ui".
    To express compassion with the pain of another person we say "ou".
    "Pff" means you think what the other one said is not worth consideration or ridiculous.
    A short "so" usually is the introduction to starting to do something. A longer "so" marks the end of a task.
    "Ah so" means "I didn't know that".
    A short "ah" means "I don't believe you".

      I know they use "nit" in Bavaria -- it's the short form for "nicht wahr" == "isn't that true?" Bavaria has an extraordinary amount of strange expressions. In fact when a Bavarian country film is broadcast into other regions of Germany, they often add subtitles in normal German, because most don't understand much of what is said! A couple of examples: when they say good-by in southern Bavaria, they often say "führ di" which is short for "Gott führe dich" ==God lead you.
      When I began learning German I lived in the area called Frankonia. I remember learning school book German and then going to the market place to hear a farmer's wife calling out "mo geh mi hi?!" I couldn't find that in my dictionary. In high German it means: "wo gehen wir hin?"== "Where are we going?"
      In Frankonia the people love rolling their "R"s to the extreme. Now I live in neighboring Thuringia -- there and in Saxony, the can't roll their "R"s to save their life!
