嗯哼哦这三个字最伤人
[ng4 hēng é zhè sān gè zì zuì shāng rén]
'嗯哼哦', translated as 'um-hmm', signifies an affirmative yet ambiguous response in casual conversation. 'These three words hurt the most' reflects a sense of irony that such an inconsequential reply can deeply hurt someone, pointing out that sometimes silence or indifference hurts more than straightforward rejection.
