There is no real word for "yes" in Irish Gaelic. Typically, you make an affirmative statement using the affirmative form of the verb. However, in some cases "sea" is used to mean yes. In this construction, "yes please" would be said "sea, le do thoil."
There is really no word for 'no' (or yes) in Irish and Scottish Gaelic. For example if you were to ask "Are you there?", the answer would be either "I am" or "I am not".
English is the main language spoke in Ireland, so people say "yes". In the Irish language yes can be "sea", pronounced "sha" or "tá" pronounced "thaw".
A mhuirnín in the Irish;
in Scottish Gaelic: ?
Le do thoil
To say yes you answer with the verb in the positive.
In Irish (Gaelic) there are no single words for 'yes' or 'no'. Instead the verb is repeated in the affirmative or negative. Will you do it? (An ndéanfaidh tú é?) I will, lord. (Déanfaidh mé é, a Thiarna.) Are you there? (An bhfuil tú ansin?) I am, lord. (Táim, a Thiarna.) The same applies to Scottish Gaelic.
