Are interjections used to express a strong or sudden thought?

Interjections are used to express strong emotions or sudden feelings, rather than thoughts. They often function as exclamations or expressions of surprise, joy, anger, pain, or other emotions.

Examples:

* Wow! (surprise)

* Ouch! (pain)

* Hooray! (joy)

* Darn it! (frustration)

* Shhh! (silence)

Interjections are not used to express thoughts, but rather to convey feelings directly and succinctly. They are often used in informal speech and writing.

While a strong or sudden thought could lead to an interjection, the interjection itself is the expression of the feeling arising from that thought, not the thought itself.
