YES
(as an affirmative answer) ita: ita est: sic est (so it is): recte (an expression of courtesy in affirmation; quite right very well): certe (certainly surely denotes the conviction with which one affirms a thing): vero (indeed truly affirms with greater emphasis): etiam: sane: sane quidem (it is self-evident; at all events): immo (☞ in itself is never an affirmative particle in replies but rather opposes what has been said before; either something stronger “yea even ” or something corrective “yea rather;” e.g. qui hoc? intellexistin’? an nondum ne hoc quidem? D. immo callide yes perfectly). The Latins however usually affirm not by any such particle but more closely and emphatically by a repetition of the word on which the emphasis rests in the interrogation; e.g. will you come? veniesne? yes I veniam! do you want me? mene vis? yes! te! Clitipho came here. Alone? Clitipho huc adiit. Solus? Yes! solus! I say yes aio: affirmo: annuo (by nodding the head): you say yes but I say no tu ais ego nego: to answer yes or no aut etiam aut non respondere: to say yes to anything in aliqua re assentire: to answer yes to anything aliquid affirmare: only say yes fac promittere.
