Background guy in tik toks

Question

Often in chinese tik tok compilations, there is a guy in the background who says something sounding like "ayodema" or something like that... I'd like to ask you what he is actual saying and what it means

Answer 1

哎呦，我的妈

āi yōu wǒ de mā

This is what you heard. It is similar to "oh my goodness" in English, which generally means that things are beyond expectation.

哎呦 = Oh

我的 = my

妈 literally means "mother", but it could indicate someone or something you respect
