I've heard the 'exclamation' 'vay vayyyy' several times.
(I suppose it's more like an exclamation than a word.. just like 'aman aman', but then with a different meaning???)

I'm curious what it means and in which different situations it can be used.

Usage in Turkish sentences (with English translations preferably), would be very welcome


Thanks a million in advance!

"Well well, look what we have here".. That's actually the only English usage of 'well well' that i know and it sounds quite old-fashioned to me

There must be more to it

They were singing 'I'm in love with black eyes' in the song, i don't think a good old 'well well' matches the desire
