The Meaning of Eh

The Meaning of Eh

Presenting The Definition Of ‘Eh’

For all of our non-Canadian friends, we bring you the definition of “Eh” and set forth some of its many uses.

EH is pronounced AY, eh

Eh is a useful word that’s very important and is the basis of all Canadian communications. It’s used in conjunction with other words, or simply by itself. The tone, or the slight differences in exclamation, also changes its meaning. For instance:

Eh? – What did you say?
Eh?! – What do you think?
EH. – Something to say just to end a sentence.
Eh!! – WOW!!
EH!? – What do you mean?
Eh!!!? – Your joking!?
EH! – Hello
Eh!!! – Sure!
Eh?!? – What you say when you realize you have no money to pay for it.
Eh, c’mon, eh!!? – Asking someone to let you pay for it next time.
Eh… c’mon!!!! – Well that’s early, but ok.
Eh… wanna? Eh!!!!!!!!!!? – Lets fool around.
EH?????? – How did that happen??????

‘Eh’ In Action

“Let’s do something, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘do you agree?’
“We could get a beer, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘if you would like to’
“I don’t know about that, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘but perhaps I might be convinced if you explained further’
“What’s that, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘I would appreciate, hearing your interpretation’
“The beer’s cheap here, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘so what would you like to do about that’
“It’s after last call, eh?” – ‘eh’ is, ‘were you aware’

“Nice night, eh!” – used as a statement of opinion
“It goes over there, eh!” – used as a statement of fact
“Thin about it, eh!” – used as a command
“What a game, eh!” – Used as excitement
“What are they trying to do, eh?” – used as a question
“Eh? What did you say?” – used as “pardon me?”
“You’re a real jerk, eh?” – used to enhance an insult
“You took the last piece, eh?” – used as an accusation
“This guy is up on the 27th floor, eh! then he gets out on the ledge, eh . . .” – used while telling a story

And that’s pretty much it, eh.
