Thanks a lot. I don't have any context so can you give to me a example?

¿Y eso?
The expression could point to a physical or abstract thing.
It could be "what about that ?" or "what do you mean ?" or "why ?" or "although".
Person 1: "Esto pertenece a Mark y esto a Ana". (This belongs to Mark and this to Ana.)
Person 2: "¿Y eso?" (And what about that ?)
Person 1: "Voy a dejar el colegio" (I will leave the school)
Person 2: "¿ Y eso ?" (what do you mean ?, what does it mean or why ?)

In Spanish, a question beginning with "¿Y...?" often means "What about...?"
Just last night, I read an old Calvin and Hobbes strip in Spanish where Hobbes had just given Calvin a terrible haircut, and he lost all his hair. The third panel went something like this:
Calvin: ¡Espero que seas feliz!
Hobbes: ¿Feliz? ¡Me estafaste! ¿Y mis ocho dólares?
The last sentence means "What about my eight bucks?" or "Where's my eight bucks?"
