ja

yeah

In German, the word 'ja' is used to express agreement or confirmation, similar to 'yeah' in English. It is a common informal way of saying 'yes' and is often used in casual conversations.

Example sentences using: ja

Ja, ich verstehe.

Yes, I understand.

This is a simple affirmation. The speaker is confirming that they understand something that has been said or explained to them.

Aber ja, das ist richtig.

But yes, that is correct.

In this context, 'ja' is used to agree or affirm a fact or argument that was presented. The use of 'aber' prior to 'ja' provides a slight contradiction to a statement made prior.
