There are two different systems of what is called "solfege." Solfege is where syllables are assigned to notation.
The first system is called a "fixed do" system. In this system, C is always do, D is always re, and so on and so forth all the way through do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, ti, and do.
The second system is a movable do system. In this system, the tonic of the key you are in is do. If you are in the key of D, then D is do, E is re, F# is mi, and so on and so forth.
Most people in America use a movable do system. I hope this helps and let us know if you have any more questions.

Not really.
As mentioned in the post, I want to know how the extended words eg. fahh, sooo, wheeep, etc. would be represented by the notes.

I am sorry to tell you that I am not familiar with any of those. I hope someone else is able to assist you. My apologies.

If you say the "words" (notes) are extended, i figure it may have something to do with note duration. This signifies the duration for which a played note lasts, eg a whole note (semibreve), half note (minim), quarter note (crotchet), eighth note (quaver), sixteenth note (semiquaver), thirty second note(demisemiquaver) and so on (in descending order of duration). For instruments where a note can be sustained for a relatively long time(e.g human voice, a flute, etc.) the duration of each note signifies for how much time it is to be played. (In case you are confusing it, extension or sustainance has nothing to with what note it is : A, B, C, or whatever). I hope that was what you asked for, if not then I apologise.
