Ei! ou Eh!


Explanation:
Seria mais fácil se nos desse a fala toda, mas penso que seja isso.

A orotgrafia correcta seria "oi"

Oi - interj. (British, used to call attention , esp. in an angry way): Oi, you! Get out of my garden!

agree  Silvia Borges: owie é realmente uma interjeição usada quando estiver sentindo alguma dor. Porém existe howdy (som parecido) que quer dizer: olá!
