Canadian Eh

The interjection eh is used in many varieties of English. These include American, Scottish and New Zealand. However, the extensive use in Canadian English leads many to think of it as a feature of Canadian English.

In Canadian English, eh can be used in many ways. Here are examples:

You enjoyed it, eh? (interrogative)
We had fish, eh, and salad. (narrative)
Really, eh? (confirmation)
How's it going, eh? (greeting)
You want to see the movie, eh? (tag)
Tell me, eh! (intensifier)

The interjection eh is not exclusive to Canadian English. However, Canadian English uses the interjection in many contexts, especially informal. This is the reason eh is often associated with Canadian English.
