What is the correct part of speech for aw?

"Aw" is an interjection.

Interjections are words or phrases that express strong emotion and are often followed by an exclamation point.

Here are some examples of how "aw" is used as an interjection:

* "Aw, that's so sweet!"

* "Aw, poor thing."

* "Aw, I wish I could go."

While "aw" is most commonly used as an interjection, it can also be used as a noun in informal contexts, meaning "an expression of tenderness or sadness." For example:

* "Let out an aw at the sight of the lost puppy."

However, this usage is less common and more informal.
