How do Dominicans say YAY/sweet/yess
Is there any distinctively Dominican way of saying yesss/sweet/yayy or any given exclamation of excitement? I'm pretty sure ¡órale! and ¡olé! are Mexican/ Central American. Thanks!!!

Ai carumba!
When you say, "Oh, lace." it doesn't quite make the cut, but "Ai, Carumba!" somehow expresses the thought very well.
And yes, if it's good enough for Bart, it's good for all of us.

SI COÑO!!, Que jevy!! and YES!!, like that in english. Caramba is used here, but not to use it in exclamation of excitement, more like beeing surprised.
