What's the meaning of "un"?
"No, you have two." She pointed to them. (burgers) "One, t--"
Before she could finish, he crammed the rest of the burger in his mouth, his cheeks balloonning out. "Thee?" he asked through a moutful of meat. "Un."
That's the paragraph. A little girl comes to his table while he was eating burgers and they're having this conversation. I thought that he was making her sentence complete by changing "two" with "thee" but what is "un"? Is this some kind of noise that he's making by showing his mouth or does it have a real meaning?
Thanks in advance.
