What part of speech is duh?

"Duh" is an interjection.

Interjections are words or phrases that express strong emotion or sudden feelings. They often stand alone, but can also be used within a sentence.

Here's how "duh" functions:

* Expresses obviousness: It indicates that something is very clear and should be obvious.

* Conveys annoyance: It can also imply frustration or irritation when someone states the obvious.

For example:

* "You didn't know the answer? Duh, it's right there in the book!" (expresses obviousness and annoyance)

* "Duh, I forgot my phone!" (expresses obviousness)
