I like the Arabic word "ya" that can functions as an extra attention-grabber when referring to someone

So instead of

NaoPb, can you bring me the screwdriver? you say ya NaoPb, can you bring me the screwdriver?

so the word "ya" prepares your brain to recieve a name of a referrant, and if that name is your name then your brain then pays full athention
