  Unironically I find that repeating what your correspondent said but as a question shows your engagement, especially when they said something more expressive.

    Something more expressive?

    source

    • ddplf@szmer.info ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Something they’d expect you to react to more vividly, like something surprising, touching or shocking.

    Well, I would add an "Oh shit, " at the beginning, so it would be like

    Oh shit, something more expressive?

    I feel like this would get really tiring/annoying for the speaker

    • ddplf@szmer.info ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Sure, like everything else when overused, but when done with in moderation it is a nice figure of speech I believe

    It becomes more engaging, especially if said more expressively?

    Are you including when you rephrase the question but the content is essentially the same?

    ^ This is how I do it

      • …I ate that huge tiger shrimp when I was there

      • You shoved that massive tiger shrimp into your mouth? Good for you.

      Shite, I like that

  I can never work out if Kojima is autistic or if that’s just how Japanese is when badly translated.

  It’s all his games as well.

  Props to Norman and Troy because they carried the living shit out of DS2…

    I can’t remember where I read this, but IIRC it IS a Japanese thing. I mean, anyone can draw a conversation deeper by asking questions, but the Japanese do have a thing for picking one word and making it a question.

    If I recall correctly?

    Japanese society is inherently autistic

    • isyasad@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      This is called “aizuchi” in Japanese or “backchanneling” more generally and as hard as I try I CANNOT find this paper that I read while studying Japanese linguistics but I remember there was a frequency analysis of time between backchanneling in both English and Japanese in both male and female listeners, and the difference was huge. Something like, female Japanese speakers backchannel every 2 seconds while male English speakers backchannel every 30 seconds.

    Those are zombies?

    source

    • marcos@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Eventually you need to reach for an exclamation mark:

      – Yes, Snake, zombies.

      – Zombies?!

      You may also want to keep adding both in order for as long as the conversation holds.

    Whenever I hear someone do the repeat question in conversation I usually follow it up with either that or “A Hind-D?” under my breath

  I forgot where I heard it but supposedly this an actual psychological trick to get people to reveal more information

  • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    more information?

    source
  • CluckN@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Is it called a question?

    source

    • LwL@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Nah, specifically just repeating the last word/bits of their last sentence vs asking a full question. It’s about when the other person is on guard against you, if they want to tell you everything anyway I can’t see it make a difference either.

      ¿Question?

      source
  • EldenLord@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    It even works, it makes the other person slightly uncomfortable with what they just said and often they will try to justify their words with more information. Only works against obvlivious people who have their guard down tho.

  Add a question mark to every sentence and you become an Aussie.
