No Shi? I had no idea about Mandarin.
- lopmotr 6y agoShi means "is", not "yes" in Mandarin.
- singularity2001 6y agowho sais yes isn't a contraction of i'is
- r0rshrk 6y agoSurprisingly, this is partially true. It's a contraction but an older one. https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/yes https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/yes
- chrischen 6y agoThere are many yes-like words, but not exactly "yes". There's "it is", "it's correct", and "it's good" that may be used depending on context to mean yes.
