Best Answer

yes with no intonation just means affirmative, agreed

yes with upward intonation at the end 'yes?' is said in answer to one's name

yes!! with louder, excited tone is a celebration

yes or more specifically 'yeah' lingeringly and with downward intonation at the end is sarcasm, and means you do not agree, or ridicules the person you're talking to.

there are obviously, infinite more examples
