uh huh
Grunted lazy agreement
Uh huh is a casual affirmative sound—a way of saying yes, indicating agreement, or signaling that you're listening: Uh huh, I understand.
The tone matters: flat delivery suggests mere acknowledgment, while enthusiastic delivery conveys genuine agreement.
Compare with uh uh, which means no.
