United States English/inglés Es una expresión que se usa para llamar la atención. Creo que es como ¡Oye! o ¡Oiga! en español o Hey! en inglés. Esa expresión sólo se usa en el Reino Unido y probablemente en Irlanda. Nunca se oiría en EE.UU. S

'Oi' is very colloquial. It is a very familiar and at times aggressive way of saying "Hey, you!" Students of English should not use it, as it could give offence. 'Oi' also describes a very basic type of punk rock music, often with far-right and/or racist lyrics. S

Yes. Don't ever use it in formal situations if you don't want to come off as brash or impolite. You must log in or register to reply here. Share: Bluesky LinkedIn WhatsApp Email Share Link
