English term or phrase: hier: why
Haha! Why, the bet that you can beat my boys here in a fight to the death ...

Why, even I was once as inexperienced as yourself a long, long time ago ... but that is a story for another time.

Why, I'd be out there in the field hunting with you, if it weren't for the loss of my favorite bow.

Wie ist hier "why" zu übersetzen?
Vielen Dank.

agree  Claudia Krysztofiak: oder: "also", "hör mal", "echt". Häufig wird es gar nicht übersetzt, und wenn oft nicht am Satzanfang sondern durchaus in die Formulierung eingebaut.
