8 Ways to Say "Yes"
It's just three little letters, but Yes can say
so much.
Yes
Yes is a
very old word. It entered English before 900, and comes from the Old English
word gese loosely meaning "be it." Before the
1600s, yes was often used only as an affirmative to a negative
question, and yea was used as the all-purpose way to say
"yes."
Aye
