Hadar Shemesh shows how saying "why" with different intonation signals sarcasm, disbelief, or condescension. Tone of voice often reveals attitude more than words do, and the vocal cues that signal these meanings shift across languages and cultures.
Why? Why? Listen to that intonation. Why? There is like a sense of sarcasm there, like of, of disbelief. It's not just the intonation. It's not just why, right? Why? Why? When he does that sound, and it's not exactly his voice, it changes a little bit. It's just like, what are you talking about? So sometimes the tone of voice tells us more about the attitude of a person, and we need to know what's culturally considered as sarcastic, ironic, patronizing, because in each language and in each culture it might be a different sound and a different attitude.
