I’m willing to bet that “oui” is one of the very first words that you learned in French, right? Good! It’s important to be able to say “yes” in every language you plan to speak, as well as understand when someone else is speaking affirmatively.
But… “oui” will only get you so far if you hope to understand everyday French conversations. Of course we say “oui” a lot in French; but we also say more than a dozen other words to express ourselves when we want to say “yes”.
The same thing happens in English - or whatever your native language may be. You might say “of course”, “okay”, or “absolutely”. The same is true in French! Let’s go over some of the most common ways to say “yes” in French (without saying “oui”) so you can express yourself differently AND better understand everyday French conversations.
