I have grown up with Shanghainese as my second language, and never in my life have I, my parents, or my brother ever uttered anything remotely like "huh." Seems like a silly bit of clickbait.
- yorwba 6y agoI checked Wiktionary's category of Wu interjections [1] and 呵 (Wiktionary romanization hu (T1), Sinological IPA /hv̩ʷ⁵³/) "5. Exclamation particle for expressing surprise." [2] seems like it would fit their loose pattern. (Although it might be that this particular meaning isn't actually used in Shanghainese.)
