It covers unexpected reactions, anger, emotional outbursts, immediate comfort, praise, and the use of different tones—features not found in general dictionaries. It could be a polite way to address a colleague, a respectful way to speak to a superior, or an intimate way to talk to a close friend. It could be a question, confirmation, or even self-talk.
