If you're talking about the Japanese language, desu is a word of being, like "to be." ka is a word used at the end of a sentence to indicate it as a question. So in example. "Genki desu ka?" means "How are you?"

if your talking about Japanese then this is what it means (say what language your talking about in the future). Desu is kinda like a verbal full stop. It means something along the lines of "it is". Its put at the end of sentences which are mainly statements (not actions). the yo accentuates aphasias. Its like a verbal exclamation mark.

Its a dodgy answer but this is all i know. My answer may not be 100% correct.
