/HAN/
FIL: Isang ekspresyon na nagpapahiwatig ng pagtatanong, pagkalito, o hindi paniniwala sa narinig o nakita. Katumbas ng 'Ano?'.
EN: What?! / Huh?!
The shorter, more aggressive cousin of 'Ano?'. It's what you say when someone says something so unbelievable or confusing you need them to repeat it with more clarity. 'May utang ka pa sa akin.' 'Han!?' It's a single syllable that carries the weight of 'Are you serious right now?' and 'I dare you to say that again.' It's the Tagalog version of a record scratch.
Likely a shortened, emphatic form of 'Ano?'.
Purely conversational and informal. The exclamation point is almost mandatory to convey the right tone. Can also be spelled 'Anu!'.
