Senses

co is used for these senses in English:

  • eh (informal, chiefly, Canada, Northern US, New Zealand, AU, UK) Used as a tag question, to emphasise what goes before or to request that the listener express an opinion about what has been said.
  • huh (with rising pitch) Used to reinforce a question.
  • huh (slang, with falling pitch) Used either to belittle the issuer of a statement/question, or sarcastically to indicate utter agreement, and that the statement being responded to is an extreme understatement.
