What are the differents ways to say "Yes" in Arabic ?
If you want to better understand and speak everyday Arabic, you need to learn other ways than "Oui".
نعم /Na3am/
yes
To say you agree in Arabic, you can simply say "Yes" or you may repeat the whole sentence:
- هل تحب المثلجات؟ نعم/ نعم ,احب المثلجات. = Do you like icecream? yes/ yes, I like icecream .
- Also, you can say "Na3am" when you want the speaker to repeat his speach again.
(ايوا) /Aywa/ ( Egyptian slang)
yep ( in Egyptian and some country in Midel East )
ايوى /Aywa/ is the informal way of saying "yes" in Arabic.
You'll hear this a lot in casual conversations:
- انت عايش في القاهرة ؟ ايوى , أنا عايش هنا .= Do you live in Cairo ? Yep, I live here.
اجل /Ajal/ (most formal)
alright
“اجل” is the Arabic equivalent of “alright. It use in very short answer :
- هل ستأتي معنا ؟ اجل . = Are you coming with us? Alright.
تمام /Tamam/(semi formal)
alright /OK ( in Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and the environs )
"Ok" has the same meaning as "تمام" but a little less formal.
- افتح هديتك . تمام . = Open your gift . Ok
طبعا /T'ab3an/
of course
If a person asks you something to which the answer seems obvious, you could answer:
- طبعا /T'b3an/ ( of course)
- اكيد /Akid/ (sure )
You can use "طبعا" in all situations, but "ااكيد" is more formal.
! هل تحب المثلجات ؟ طبعا . = Do you like icecream? Of course! .
اكيد /akid /
sure
when you are very sure in your answer :
- هل انت فرنسي ؟ اكيد .= Are you French ? sure
حاضر /Harder/

When someone ask you to do something and you will do it then you say حاضر. It's a polite way to say yes or OK.
