Hey I voted you up - but here is a friendly correction - it's 'muchas gracias' not 'mucho gracias' - and don't worry - you will learn a lot here! :) - kirstenalexander, MAY 22, 2010

Answer 1

Or at the beginning of the sentence, ¡Vaya, que señorita más bonita!

Answer 2

Another possible option is "¡Hala!". I assume you don't mean at the end of the sentence = part of the sentence but as a separate entity immediately following like it is in your example.

"(La) senorita es bonita. ¡Vaya!" or

"(La) senorita es bonita. ¡Hala!"

Answer 3

¡Vaya! is one possibility. However, as an interjection, it doesn't go at the end of a sentence, it's a stand-alone utterance (as would be "Wow!" in English)..

Answer 4

There really isn't an exact translation of "wow" in that particular case, but you could say it in a different way, like "Que chica tan linda!!", putting emphasis on the word "linda" (senorita sounds a little corny by the way, no native speaker would say that). On the other hand, the previous comment is correct, the use of "wow" is becoming more and more common in Latin America (kind of like "ok")

Answer 5

Why not just use guau? I watch Spanish television all the time, and I hear 'Wow' a lot. It seems to me that it has been adopted for general use, no? What is funny to me, it is close captioned as "guau" and sometimes "wow".
