Or at least that may have contributed to the uptake here of eh
Te reo enters the chat... 'eh' is pronounced pretty close to 'nei' and can have a similar meaning in some contexts when used after an opinion (to add a slightly rhetorical emphasis). I think there is a possibility that eh is an anglicised version of nei. maoridictionary.co.nz/search?&keyw...
Depends on the pronunciation: 'eh' to me rhymes with 'day' & indicates a rhetorical question (good pie eh?) and 'aye' should rhyme with 'eye' and is archaic 'yes' (aye-aye captain! or "ayes and noes" in Westminster style parliaments). But I know others say aye/ay = eh www.youtube.com/watch?v=opPf...

And, judging from every time I've heard the national anthem at a sporting event recently, it is now officially God Save The Quing. Which is an excellent gender-neutral term for a monarch and should be generally adopted forthwith.
