    I asked my Maasai friends what it means and they laughed and said it doesn't mean anything. I think it is the equivalent to yes or yea or a nod to encourage conversation. However the Maasai eeeehhh is lyrical and rhythmic.

      Haha I guess to them it must seem like a silly question. I thought it must be something like that.

      Like when amerivans say "uh-huh". Still so strange and appealing.Their words and movement did not match nor the camera. I enjoyed it.

    SEEMS Like how Japanese, Mexican, Korean, others, there is always a filler sound that communicates affirmative. Indeed. Right?! Ya! Really? IS that so? AHH.

    I wonder what "eeeh" means? Maybe like people that speak english say "mhm" or "hmm"? Sounded kinda like they were singing.

      Anastasia Talas yea it is in acceptance just like saying yes

      In Afaan Oromo, 'Eehh' means: yes in the sense of agreement. And 'hoooh' depending on dialect is 'yes' but in the sense of responding when someone calls you.
