Adding "eh" to a sentence can indicate the speaker's willingness to accept dissent or to invite further discussion. Has been referred to as an "articulated question mark."

"Ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc., of the person or persons addressed" is how the Canadian Oxford Dictionary puts it.

"Let's do something, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'do you agree?' "We could get a pizza, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'if you would like to' "I don't know about that, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'but perhaps I might be convinced if you explained further' "What's that, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'I would appreciate, friend of mine, hearing your interpretation' "The beer's cheap here, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'so what would you like to do about that' "It's after last call, eh?" -- where 'eh' is 'were you aware'
