What do you say when someone calls you on the street?
So imagine that a stranger draws your attention on the street by saying "excuse me", and waits for you to respond. In English, without being overly polite, you can just say "yes?", "aha?", etc.
I'm not sure what I should say in Chinese in this case, any ideas?

I just say 恩...
I think to be polite, you can say something like 有什么事吗？／需要帮忙吗？, but 恩 works fine for me cuz people understand it means I'm willing to help them.

So, technically, should it be 嗯 or 恩?
To answer your question, it should be 嗯 actually.
Pardon my typing. We don't really type the exactly correct word when chatting. People understand each other as long as two words share the same or similar prounication.

"嗯"is the correct one, while sometimes we type "恩" incorrectly on the Internet.
And if someone call me on the street, I may say"什麼事嗎?"(什麼means "what"; 是means "thing"; 嗎 is a question word)
