[meaning] What a… ! How… !

[English] When a child is born, what a happy event it is!

^_^’ A bit of info from a native speaker says that this pattern is not so commonly used nowadays.
He says that for 女性 (female) the following is much more appropiate during these times:
「なんと～ことでしょう」
Going along with our example from above, it would be something like なんとうれしいことでしょう。
So the ～ことか is for those really exclamatory statements. It’s not applied in every English sentence we put a “!” to. ^_^ For guys, this is okay , I guess. I’ve heard this expression from Bleach. I don’t really recall but I think it was Toushiro taichou. ^_^
