Sometimes it’s because their brain wasn’t set to receiving mode.
If someone says “hey” or my name before starting a sentence, I am paying attention. When they just start talking without doing that, I tend to miss the first part of the sentence.
Then I’m like “huh?”. And sometimes I’m able to guess what they meant. Other times, not so much.

I like the Arabic word “ya” that can functions as an extra attention-grabber when referring to someone
So instead of
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
Kinda like yo
Or “hey” or “oi” or “INITIATING HUMAN SPEECH PROTOCOL”
