Oiga.
Said by a worker in an interpreted hearing. Any idea of how to address the "oiga" issue in interpeting the above utterance so it sounds meaningful in English?
BTW, thanks to all those who helped me with "Dígame." Very useful feedback.

: Sí, pero no en este caso, donde es una muletilla más (como el "esteee", "buenooo"...), no una interjección.

Sí, creo que tienes razón, lo repite tantas veces que da la idea de muletilla más que de querer llamar la atención. Saludos Juan.
