Thread: Мы как закричим!

Can somebody give me a hint, please, how to translate into English this type of russian expressions:

Мы как закричим!
А он как набросится!
Как выпрыгнет, как выскочит... etc.

with all these "как"...

мы как закричим! - How we will shout!

А он как набросится! - How he attacks/pounces!

It's kinda like an expression of amazement, or excitement. Take the line from очи черные.

"как люблю я вас! как боюсь я вас!"

Oh! How I love you! Yet, how I am afraid of you!

Yep, most likely this is the best way! Thanks

Don't say this too lound amongst native English speakers!

And, surely, don't ask "How is Simon" in Russian, unless you want a bunch of surprised stares!!!
