    ##

    In Japanese, ?? hai is agnate to the English chat yes, while ??? iie is agnate to no. The use of the Japanese terms, however, does not accord absolutely to that of the English words. Added precisely, ?? hai in Japanese means, I accede with you, or, It is correct. Thus, English speakers may attempt with the able Japanese acknowledgment to abrogating questions (e.g. Dont you ...? or ..., dont you?). Specifically, ?? hai answers a abrogating catechism in the faculty that corresponds to the English No. Likewise, ??? iie answers a abrogating catechism in the faculty that corresponds to the English Yes.
