In partie-U[OIf, in the workplace where rank and status are cleor, a subordinate will call a superior not by his/hername but rather by Q title such as APd-'iS ' P e r the president of a company + 'c l honorific). Usually you wouldnot add the honorific 'f 1 when referring to your own title/job,O f . . :I i'. HR .? " Oh , re ally ? /O h, is th at rig ht ? IO h yeah?"This phrase is not a serious question, but a polite way to show your interest and attention, like the phrases"Oh, really?/Oh, is that right?{Oh yeah?" in English. Depending on nuance, this phrase can have many dif-ferent meanings. In this case, this is written like a question, but the meaning is not really a question, soyour tone should not rise too much at the end.
