About This Clues Answer
We think the answer is "HUH" which means:
- interjection
- • (with falling pitch) used to express amusement or subtle surprise.
- • Used to express doubt or confusion.
- • (with rising pitch) used to reinforce a question.
- • (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.
- • (with rising pitch) used to indicate that one did not hear what was said.
- • (with falling pitch) used to create a tag question.
An example sentence would be:
- • "I didn't understand what he said, so i responded with a confused "huh"."
- • "She stared at me in confusion and asked, "huh?""
