If I were to write "aiyaa, 这是太贵了!“

Wondering how to show exasperation in writing? Or how to write the aiyaa?

You can just say 哎呀,太贵了! to express the meaning.

汗 is also an awesome nonvocal way to express exasperation in written Chinese.

CC-CEDICT:

3 to be speechless (out of helplessness, embarrassment etc) (Internet slang used as an interjection)

You could totally write: "汗, 太贵了!"

哎呀!

Is how you write Āiyā! in Chinese.
