"Well, I didn’t think I’d meet you here!"ANALYSIS:
They are happy and maybe even surprised. The Down-Up is a common way to express surprise and interest. The exaggerated length of “O” adds to the idea of being pleasantly surprised.NOTES:
The extra volume adds energy and gives the impression that the speaker is particularly happy to see you!

keyboard_arrow_downMESSAGE:
"Oh look at this! Hmmm…."ANALYSIS:
They are reserved, slightly suspicious, but ‘playful’ / interested. The Up-Down intonation is a common way to express some sort of reservation, possibly doubt or disbelief. Adding in the playful extended ‘E’ & ‘O’ and we have the idea that the person is also curious, or possibly familiar with the person, object or situation they are reacting to.NOTES:
This type of ‘hello’ reaction is very common when we find things that we are not afraid of but need to treat in a particular way. Imagine finding an error in a maths problem, or an interesting clue to a murder.

keyboard_arrow_downMESSAGE:
"Is anybody here?"ANALYSIS:
They are wondering if anyone is there to respond. The direct Up intonation indicates a question. The person is wondering if there is someone to actually answer, or not.NOTES:
This is a very common expression in horror films. Often the full sentence is “Hello? Is anybody there?”. That also explains the extra volume!
