an exclamation of disgust: yuck!, ew!, phew!, ugh!
eş: bäh, bah, ih, pfui, ärks, brr
köken: 19th century, of northern German origin. Probably a minced oath/veiled use of a phrase like o Gott (“oh God!”), compare oh God. Or, an extended form of (the presumably imitative) ih (“ew, yuck; sound of disgust”), possibly influenced by the former.
Ich habe das verbrannte Brot gerochen und sofort "igitt!" gedacht.
Er hat mir gesagt, dass er dich bumsen will. – Igitt!
Used to express dismay at a bad or unfortunate situation. Translations vary according to context, and may include uh-oh, ugh, oh no, my goodness, yuck, and too bad, among others.
