English meaning

  • eh intj Added to the end of a statement to invite agreement or a reaction, similar to "right?" or "isn't it?"
  • huh interjection Used to show confusion, surprise, or to ask someone to repeat what they said.

Senses

hę 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 (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. The intonation is changed to distinguish between the two meanings - implied dullness for belittlement, and feigned surprise for utter agreement.
  • huh (informal, with rising pitch) Used to indicate that one did not hear what was said.
