    Does "Так" and "и" imply sarcasm when used in other statements, or only in the given expression?

    For instance, would these be sarcastic?

    Так они ему и помогли!
    Так они её и увидели!
    Так ты этого и не понимаешь!

    Mostly yes. But, as always, there can be some options.

    Так они ему и помогли! - Yes 100%.
    Так они её и увидели! - May be both with sarcasm and without sarcasm. Depends on context.
    Так ты этого и не понимаешь! - This sentence strongly depends on the intonation. It can imply more anger (or grudge) rather than sarcasm.
    So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish
