Gruff translation of ん


I am trying to translate the following line:

> 「ン…そこにすわっていろ」

This line occurs after the gruff villain of the story is handed some files he
asked for.

It seems that "Yes...sit down over there." would not be appropriate in this
situation.

Possibilities I considered:

  1. Alright
  2. Yea
  3. Hmph
  4. Okay

None of these seem like the correct fit. Any opinions?




「ン」 in this context might possibly be sort of an abbreviation of 「うん」or「うむ」or
even somewhat closer in nuance to 「おい」 because this is how someone with
authority might speak to someone of lower status... So your translation to
English might be something close to「Hmph」 or 「hey」 as in 「hey...sit over
there.」

As you may know, it is hard to think of languages in terms of direct
translation word for word. Some nuance only exist in certain culture.
