Ways to say “yes” in Italian

langsandlit:

colloquial, informal
ah sì? – oh yeah? (genuine, sarcastic)
ah sì/già – oh, yeah, I remember
effettivamente / in effetti – you’re right / that’s true (agreeing; resigned if used with suspension points)
eh/eh.. – yeah (annoyed; sad or worried if used with suspension points)
eh sì – guess so (resigned)
e vabbè.. – alright then.. (resigned if used with the suspesion points)
già – yah (not very enthusiastic), yeah (when you want to express approval or agreement to what someone else said, as in già, hai ragione “yeah, you’re right”, but it can also be used to reinforce what you’ve just said, as in già, avrei dovuto dire qualcosa “yeah, I should’ve said something”). Careful: English “so yeah” doesn’t translate to *perciò già or something like that with già.
ma certo! – of course!
ma sì! – of course!
proprio così – that’s right
sì – yes
sì, sì (also written sisì, sisi) – yes, of course (less formal than what it might be in English)
sicuro! – sure!
vabbè (also spelt: va be’ and va beh) – alright (extremely annoyed or sad depending on the intonation/context)

agreeing
d’accordo – all right, it’s a deal
ok – okay
va bene – okay, all right
già – yeah (see above)

formal
assolutamente (sì) – absolutely
certamente – certainly
senz’altro – certainly, definitely
volentieri – with pleasure

i sleep nude because if someone ever breaks into my house they gotta fight me while im naked and i dare you to try and swing on a nigga when his dick is out

You are grade A guarenteed to get yourself hurt with this mindset? You think I’m afraid to grab a dick and yank it, bruh? You think I won’t get my hands dirty on your dick in order to end you? You got the wrong one, man—and your ass better hope I don’t have a knife.

Okay weirdly this exact situation has happened to me. It was summer so I was sleeping naked, but then I heard the lock on the front door being opened. I thought someone was breaking into my house and I had enough time to either grab my sword or my nightgown, not both.

Two things I learned.

One, sometimes apartment complexes will flat out forget to tell you they’re sending someone over from the fire department to check your fire extinguishers.

Two, no matter how bad ass a person thinks they are, a naked person swinging a sword at them will knock them off balance both physically and mentally.

However, the fireman was very nice about it and accepted my apology.

didn’t think it could get any better, yet here we are
