Sarcasm, hyperbole and understatement side by side, sentence 5

The same words can be real or not, depending on the scene: «Nice one, Kai!» after a goal is praise, and after a dropped tray it is sarcasm.

Who acts: same words, goal · What happens: be, depend, drop · To what, where: sarcasm

This is a sentence of the lesson «Sarcasm, hyperbole and understatement side by side» of the language course of Mova's primary school.
