Well, it comes from people just making a humming sound for yes/no, because it's easier. It's also rude so most people grow out of doing it when they mature. Some people use it as adults because immaturity is funny. yes- yuh-huh / uh-huh / mmhm no- nuh-uh / uh- uh / mm-mm I dont know- MM-mm-MM

2013年9月9日 · What is the intonation of your "nuh-uh"? My dialect of English has the 'uh-uh (glottal stop on first syllable, abrupt shift in tone between the two syllables) or mnm-mm (same tones) for simple negation. I also have nuh'-uh with a glottal stop at the end of the first syllable. The first syllable is low.

based on this context I would use whatever it is she says. if it sounds like, "mmm-hmm," use it, if it sounds more like an "uh-huh," use that. I think in this case it is extremely appropriate to use "vocal onomatopoeia" I may have just created a thing there...

2013年10月7日 · Read carefully, "uh" as a sign has been attested since 1600, while uh-uh & uh-huh are within the past century. See Etymonline's usage of "recorded from" - it simply means the first written record. Your conclusion fails to account for how other non-word interjections have been attributed (ex. "Tsk, tsk", which precedes Shakespeare), as well as ...

2013年6月24日 · In Italian the sound for yes is "uh-uh", which sounds to a BrE speaker like the sound for "no", since our yes has the all-important aspirated consonant "uh-Huh". Italians also make a clicking noise to say no. Whereas in Western Norway …

I couldn’t make out the song very well so i don’t know any lyrics. if i had to put a date on it, id guess it was 2010s and onwards. it was almost definitely a man’s voice singing the main verses not so sure about the “uh huh”. honestly it might not even be “uh huh” that’s said but my recording is EXACTLY how it sounded.

I'd say "uh huh" normally but never "uh uh". The only context I can imagine an adult saying "uh uh" (or maybe "uh uh uh") is in a "no you can't do that" sense to either a child or jokingly to an adult. I'd never hear it in normal conversation, whereas "uh huh" is a totally fine synonym for yes to me. Like I said, it must depend on the region ...

2023年12月29日 · Eraser: Uh, how? Announcer: Well, everybody, they're building the island of luxury, it's called Dream Island. A whole square mile of paradise, a 5 star hotel, a casino, 6 resturants, robot servants, and the winner gets to decide who gets to come in, and who doesn't.

2016年10月20日 · The OED's first entries for "uh-huh" and "uh-uh" are both from Dialect Notes 5 of 1924. The OED doesn't necessarily have the earliest attested instance, but at least that establishes both at nearly 100 years old. Interestingly Dialect Notes represents the affirmative as uh-húh, which seems to be an indication of the rising contour.
