Seyana: Roughly equivalent to "ain't that right", "ain't it...".
Soyana: Similar to 'seyana', but more Kyoto instead of Osaka (both are in the Kansai region).
Sorena: "About that..."
Arena: Same as above, but the 'that' is less distinct and refers to something further in space and time (note that in normal use, /sore/ refers to something that is distant to the speaker but close to the listener, while /are/ refers to something that is distant to both).
Wakaru: "Understood", "I get it..."

In the English dialect of coastal and northern Maine, the roughly equivalent particle is "ayuh," or its slightly more emphatic variant, "oh ayuh." This can mean anything from "yes" to "go on, I'm listening" to "really, you think so?" to "that's the dumbest God damn thing I ever heard in my life."
