I noticed this about a month ago when watching Kitchen Nightmares, every time Big Gordo says a sentence, usually he'll say yes at the end of it, for example:
Gordo: We're fucking cooking some amazing fucking dish, yes?
Shit Scared Chef: Yes
Which sounds like a simple answer but then I started saying yes at the end of sentences but I changed yes to yeah and people would respond with yeah, again; 'yeah' is a fairly common word to use.
Then I changed from 'yeah' to 'ya!' in a slightly Swedish accent and that's the moment I truly realised that people will usually copy the last word of your sentence, providing it's a question and they understand or agree with the rest of your sentence.
It's a good feeling, when you start adding accents and weird words like, yup, mmmmmhmmm but not only that, emotion even gets carried over. If you say it like you're really excited like Mr Motivator on a good day then the person acts the same, the same with being sad or angry.
I really suggest you go and try it. It's funny when you get a serious man saying ya in a swedish accent with a grin.
