[QUOTE]So I've been here a few days now and I here this "eh?" being used in different contexts... Sounds kinda nice, as far is I've figured it out it's a way to say "isn't it?" am i right? are there other ways of doing that?[/QUOTE]

Re: learn when to use the "eh?" thing that Canadians say

[QUOTE]you're right about the phrases that "eh?" tends ot be used for. There are many ways people use the "eh?" expression, but my feeling is DON'T do it! I was born and raised in Manitoba and let me tell ya, it is an extremely annoying, and streotypical word. Pass on using this new word; there'll be many more words that catch your ear and don't say "farmer" or "hick" like the word "eh!" :)[/QUOTE]

Re: "eh?"

[QUOTE]I disagree completely. It's an awesome colloquialism of Canadian English and there's nothing at all wrong with using it. I certainly am not a hick, nor do I associate the word 'eh' with being one, and lord knows I say it all the time. More than meaning "isn't it", as in "Man it's freakin hot out today, eh?", 'eh' can be used in a statement to raise someone's awareness to some matter. "Don't buy that, eh." "That's crappy beer, eh." <-- not necessarily meaning "isn't it", because it isn't a question. You're telling someone it's crappy beer, say, if they haven't tried it yet.[/QUOTE]

Re: rebuttle

[QUOTE]It also serves as a period. Note the above sentence sounds just fine like, "It also serves as a period eh?". Most of the time "eh" gets used to as a way to make a statement and yet keep the statement open to debate. E.g., Christmas is almost here eh? Or, that band is awesome eh?[/QUOTE]
