The official word for "yes", "da", also means "to" and "that". But most people say "ja" and that doesn't have any other meanings.
>>
>>52951145
"Da" is used for "yes" only
"Tak" means what you described and is used in different cirumstances
>>
Sí = yes
Si = if

It also means the 7th musical note
>>
>>52951145
Tako also means in this way in Slovene, and it can likewise be used as an affirmation when the question concerns how things were done/transpired. Never knew that Polish lacks the da, tho.
>>
Not exactly. It's actually two different words written the same way.

>>52952764
Also, phrases like 'da budet mir'

The German police is probably driving to your location for typing out bad words already.

It means "yes" but also something like "after all"

Not Korean myself but studying it.

The words for yes are "ne" 네, "ye" 예 and "uh" 응, 어.

They don't mean yes, but instead are more like "correct". So where in English we might say no, they'd say yes, for example:

"You aren't going to the store are you?"

In English we'd say "no, I'm not"
In Korean they say "yes(correct), I'm not"

jah or jaa means: yes

There's no word for "yes" in Irish.
