"Mmhmm" is not actually a word, but more of a sound that is made, it is loud enough to be heard and it lets the speaker know that a) you are listening what they're talking about and b) they should continue. And although it is loud enough to be heard, it isn't so loud that it makes the speaker stop speaking. It simply affirms your interest. You may use this while someone is explaining something to you, or telling you a really long story.
"Oh wow" is said when something surprises you and you want the speaker to continue. Usually this is used when you are being told an interesting story.
"Yeah..." When saying this word you may drag it out a little bit. It shows the speaker you are engaged in whatever is being spoken about and are paying close attention. This can be used when someone is telling you something suspenseful.
"Mmhmm" は、言葉ではなく聞こえるくらいの大きさの声ですが、これにより話し手に
a) ちゃんと聞いていますよという合図
b) 続けてくださいと促す合図
となります。しっかりと話し手にに聞こえているのだけれど、話を中断させるほどの大きさでは声です。単に話し手が何かを説明している時や長めの話をしているときに、[興味をもって](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/46766/)聞いている事を表す為のものです。
"Oh wow"は、話し手の話に[驚いている](https://eikaiwa.dmm.com/uknow/questions/62856/)様子や興味深い事を聞いている時に使うあいづちです。
"Yeah..." これを言う時は、少し語尾を伸ばして言うと良いでしょう。あなたが話しに注意して聞いている様子が表現できます。ハラハラするようなお話しの時に使う事でがあります。
"Polite interjections" like Yes & Uh-huh are used constantly, to show interest.
Yes, yes..and Uh-huh are " polite interjections" that we often use to show we are listening. It suggests...affirmation, agreement, or gratification in the English language.
We usually also nod the head at the same time to and "show agreement".
Mmmm Uh-huh Yes ...Wow...really? All of these are " interjections".
We would call these phrases feedback or acknowledgement to show that what is being said has been understood.
You can also say:
I get it.
Ah.
I hope this helps!
そういうフレーズのことは、feedback や acknowledgement と言い、相手が言っていることを理解しているということを示します。
他にも
I get it.
Ah.
と言ってもいいですね。
参考になればうれしいです!
When someone is talking and you want them to know that you are listening, then you can say one of these three words to help them understand you are actually listening.
For example.
Oh my god, what a day.
Yeah.
Yeah, it has been work work work.
Ahuh.
I haven't stopped all day.
Ahuh.
Yeah, I am tired.
Sure.
I hope this helps.
Have a great day.
