yes

/ˈʝes/ · B2 · intj

yes

👍 Sounds like English yes, just with a buzzier Spanish y at the start

The word is spelled and means the same as English yes. Only the opening sound differs: Spanish /ʝ/ is a little more buzzy, like the y in a firm 'yeah'. Say it with that extra buzz and the meaning carries over directly.
