Come on Explanation: As you guessed, this should be an exclamation word like "whoof" or "yay." Some write うりゃー, うりゃうりゃうりゃ, うりゃりゃ and etc... Since we just follow how we hear every exclamation, it could be different per person. Nevertheless every exclamation has a specific situation to be used. In my impression, someone says "うりうりうり" when touching/fingering/punching/blowing somebody else or something, so "Come on (Com'on!)" could be one of the similar expressions in that case. |
