“yes” in Latin

(as an affirmative answer)(as an affirmative answer), ita: ita est: sic est (so it is): recte (an expression of courtesy in affirmation; quite right, very well): certe (certainly, surely, denotes the conviction with which one affirms a thing): vero (indeed, truly, affirms with greater emphasis): etiam: sane: sane quidem (it is self-evident; at all events): immo (☞ in itself is never an affirmative particle in replies, but rather opposes what has been said before; either something stronger, “yea even,” or something corrective, “yea rather;” e.g., qui hoc? intellexistin’? an nondum ne hoc quidem? D. immo callide, yes, perfectly). The Latins, however, usually affirm, not by any such particle, but more closely and emphatically by a repetition of the word on which the emphasis rests in the interrogation; e.g., will you come? veniesne? yes I veniam! do you want me? mene vis? yes! te! Clitipho came here. Alone? Clitipho huc adiit. Solus? Yes! solus! I say yes, aio: affirmo: annuo (by nodding the head): you say yes, but I say no, tu ais, ego nego: to answer yes or no, aut etiam aut non respondere: to say yes to anything, in aliqua re assentire: to answer yes to anything, aliquid affirmare: only say yes, fac promittere.
