A simple word, but it can be said in many ways.
I'm not sure why such a short word needs modifications, but it has plenty.
“Yes” is an informal way to answer a question or emphasize that you agree with something. It is pronounced like the chorus of the Beatles song, “She Loves You”: (Yes, yes, yes!)
are you coming or not?
Yes, I'm right behind you.
“Yep” is another alteration, and it’s informal. You probably wouldn’t answer a drill sergeant with “yeah.”
Is this your dirty plate on the table?
Yeah.
And then we have “sip,” another informal way of saying yes.
The American Heritage Dictionary says that “yes” is an alteration of “yes.” So an alteration of “yes” has its own alteration. I can’t decide if that’s inefficient or hyperefficient.
In a voice vote, we have the yeses and laos email list the nays. That “yes” is pronounced “yay.” Shouldn’t it be spelled the same as “no”? “Yay,” however, means the same thing as “yay.”
Many longer words are simply synonyms for “yes.”
Okay. This can be said grudgingly (Oh, okay, I'll finish my Brussels sprouts) or enthusiastically (Okay! No Brussels sprouts tonight!).
» Aye.»This has a military air. (At your service, sir.)
» Okeydoke » or » okeydokey. » They sound folky.
