- The word “yes” has many forms and functions. However, it is not the only word you can use when you wish to affirm something. These alternatives call help you on your way to becoming well-spoken!

Video was filmed in this location (Dillon Beach): bit.ly/30jV9ii
(1) SOUNDS AND BODY LANGUAGE
You can express “yes” without words. These are particularly useful when your mouth is full of food or you're afraid to use a wrong word or phrase.
- Mhm
- [Okay sign]
- [Nodding]
- [Thumbs up]
(2) INFORMAL
When you’re in informal situations, you will often choose to use casual language. For instance, when speaking to your friends and family, you would probably respond with “yep” rather than the much more formal “indeed.”
- Okie dokie
- Ok
- K
- Alright
- Etc.
(3) SARCASTIC
Sometimes, the best way to respond is with a good old sarcastic acceptance. Typically, these are used in informal circumstances when you want to be sassy or funny.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah
- Obviously
- Affirmative
(4) FORMAL
When you find yourself in formal situations, it is important to speak or write using formal language. Typically, you should avoid short forms, abbreviations, and slang.
- Certainly
- Definitely
- Of course
- Gladly
- Etc.

Hi marina I love you and your explanation
OMG
Hey marina i just wanna say you helping me a lot to improve my english thanks and i love you sooo much from algeria 💜
Thanks
Hi marina thanks for your help 😊
"Okey dokie is that true, yes "
~Han seo jun
Who knows "Seojun's Okey Dokey"?😃
@KINGTAN SUPORTER...i know...okey dokey...han seojun...but true beauty finale... You think true beauty season 2...star again...?
@@swadhikap697 actually I don't think so 😃💔 cuz everything is done and it's perfect, if there is a season 2 it will be kinda boring.,that's my opinion😅
But who knows,maybe there's a surprise💜✨
Okey dokey yo is that true? Yes
when I looking thumbnail : 😳
my brain : han seojun “okey dokey yo is that true? yes”
I knew 😂
I've been using "okie dokie" and never thought that it really exists. :) thank you so much ☺️.
Coincidence
Same here 😂
Hey cheers ! Me too😂
Don't lie 🤣
Really😂😂
i’m a native english speaker and when you are having a conversation with someone and you say “k” it sounds friendly but texting “k” is considered rude to the younger population. (btw i’m 16 yrs old)
Yeaaah me too 🥱👌🏻👌🏻
ohh wooow😁😂
Yeppp
Yeah I am with you there however I am from Iran but I think if we make it short when we are writting to sb its kinda rude spacially in formal realationship.
@@mozhgansobhani9557 oh yea that too! “k” is the informal way of saying “okay” so only use it when talking to someone you speak casually to
Once I said *"okie dokie"* to my teacher by mistake , And he though I told him : *"Okay donkey"* 😂🤦♂️ But don't worry it went alright this one
Hhhhhhhhh
So he ultimately understood the hidden truth 🤣🤣
😂😂
Loool
😂😂
Okie dokie yo
Is that true? Yes! 🖤
Okey dokey oh say la ra ra la ra la ra(▀̿Ĺ̯▀̿ ̿)

Of course Marina , Thank you
"Okie dokie"😂😂 such a word is unheard of (for me) . By the way you are exuberant . I am certain that your channel's subscribers are gonna reach 10 M soon.
If you learn English , read this comment.
This is my advice for everyone learns English❤⬇
.
To learn English , guys, you should only do one thing .
You should practice, practice, practice. Yeah practice.
try to go back in time and imagine yourself as a baby.
How could you learn your mother language?
By listening, right!
By Listening and trying to speak.
Try and make mistakes .it's fine, But in the end i promise you. You will do it.👌
Thanks
Thank you
Thanks man😉
good advice
You replys on every videos of her like this ,if you think that you are helping in comments of her video .....
Than you are doing a great job bcoz helping someone and wasting your time on other like strangers whom you even don't know ...
