While we're proposing useful words, may I humbly suggest two useful adverbs:

"fei" (Bavarian): in contrast to what I think you're assuming. "Des is fei da letzte" -- "This is the last one, and I think you thought there would be more".

"als" (Allemannic/Suabian): something like "in the default case, which is also frequent".

As an American, I observe that the Brits use “isn’t it” to express something similar to “fei”. Example: “That’s the entrance, isn’t it?” seems to mean “You thought that that is the exit, did you? You’re an idiot.” The closest we Yanks have is the sarcastic “That’s an exit? Yeah, right.”

English uses the Latin pace for the first case
