There's five types of YES's:
- There's a Yes with a handshake - That's a definite YES!
- There's a Yes to a question, but he or she could change their mind later on and say the opposite. Yes is not a committed YES.
- There's the I KNOW YES! where person knows what you are talking about.
- There's a sarcastic YES where person rolls their eyes and say YES.
- There's a lying YES where person say YES but involves some hidden body language behind it which really isn't a truthful YES.

yes is a magical word, it can help you to clear the existing question and have a rest, leading you to end the conversation, or bring you more questions until you run away!~

is an appropriate answer to whatever question. You can use that to make a stance whether you agree something or not, even without thinking. By just giving a yes you virtually make no explanation about why yes and why not no, it's simply a yes. You use this word quite a lot cos it's an easy sound to make. yes.
