  • An exclamation is something that is said suddenly and emphatically.
  • So, that is how I would interpret the writer's intention with these two sentences.

what do you mean by ordinary and calam to be typical exclamations ? what do the exclamation marks mean in the sentences ?

In reverse order, "Please give our love to your family" means, roughly, "please tell your family that I am thinking of them with affection."

It's a rather ordinary thing to say - it doesn't have the excitement, surprise, anger, horror, or extreme happiness that would merit an exclamation mark.

thanks ! well the writer said Give our love ... so it means that he was speaking for someone else too? or it is common to say our meaning I ?

I have no idea. Perhaps he meant he and his wife; perhaps she meant she and her husband. It's not common to use "our" meaning "my."

I guess that these sentences come from a family man. Yes, it is common to use "our love" to indicate the love of all family members.
