Usage notes

Sim as an affirmative response can be seen as somewhat terse. In more informal situations, the typical affirmative response consists of repeating the first word of the question’s verb phrase, with a change in person if necessary:

• “Eles já saíram?” “Já.”‎

  “Have they left?” “Yes.”

• “Eu ganhei?” “ganhou.”‎

  “Have I won?” “You have.”

• “Você vai sair?” “vou.”‎

  “Are you going out?” “I am.”
