"Yeah" is an Americanism. It comes from "yes", which has been good English since before Shakespeare.
Contractions have changed since Shakespeare's day. Although now we would shorten "it is" to " it's " (NOT its), he would shorten it to " 'tis "
So, Shakespeare might say, "Yes, 'tis fine" In fact he has Laertes say something very like that in Hamlet Act IV:
"Nature is fine in love, and where 'tis fine,
It sends some precious instance of itself
After the thing it loves."

β 13y agoBasically, "yea" could mean "but" or "even though." It could also mean "yes." It almost always depends how it is used in a sentence. Example: "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and staff: they comfort me." It most likely means even though in this case. It is mostly used as "but" or "even though."

β 11y ago"Yeah" is just a slang way of saying "yes". Shakespeare has his characters say "yes" constantly. Sometimes they say "yea" (rhymes with hay) and rarely they say "aye". But mostly "yes".
