Dear Maia,


Indonesian uses /aduh/ (with some dialectal variation with regard to the 
realization of the second syllable, resulting in forms such as [adu], 
[ado], [adi] and others.

However, the range of usages of /aduh /is much wider than that of 
English /ouch/.Although it can be used, like /ouch/, as an involuntary 
expression of sudden and unexpected pain, it can also be used in the 
context of ongoing physical pain, and, perhaps more commonly, also to 
express the emotional distress of the speaker, or alternatively empathy 
with the physical or emotional state of the interlocutor, or even a 
third party.Although regaining its (primary?) 'ouch' usage, it is thus 
more integrated into the language as a whole, and is of much higher 
frequency.The (open access) Jakarta Field Station contains over 5000 
tokens of /aduh/, with interlinear glosses and indications of their 
associated contexts.
