Are there any Esperanto equivalents to hesitation devices such as "um" and "er?" Like for example, in Japanese people don't say "uhhh," instead there's "ano" and "eto."

Or would you just use whatever your native language's hesitation devices are?

Also, if anyone had a list of Esperanto interjections or something I'd love to see it.

I am also curious about other Esperanto-equivalents of interjections like "well" (not as in "He did this well," but as in "Well, I don't think he did that well," ) "oh no," "aha!" "aaah!" "aww," "boo," "humph..."

If you're in need of more examples, here's a list of English interjections: http://www.vidarholen.net/contents/interjections/

I'm currently learning Esperanto with Duolingo and it hasn't come up yet so if it's taught somewhere on here, sorry. I tried searching in a few En-Eo dictionaries and didn't find anything.

I know of one: ba! = bah!

I think aha is the same?

Here's what's listed in PMEG, the online handbook of Esperanto Grammar:The explanations are in Esperanto, but that makes it more fun!

nu = well

Ahh, thanks guys!

Reading the explanations in Esperanto will take a lot of dictionary-searching at first, but it'll improve my vocabulary so I don't mind! ridego.gif
