/ˈa/ · A1 · intj

ah

Same sigh as English ah, said as one short open a; the h is silent

Spanish ah is the same interjection as English ah, from the natural exhaled vowel sound (Latin ah). The h is never pronounced in Spanish, so it is just a crisp /a/. Tone of voice decides whether it means relief, realization, awe or grief.
