a reminder to bros out there,when replying to people who r older then us or higher in authority then us e.g MIL,auntie,uncle,manager,boss etc

we have to reply with the 'da' in front first.

it is actually pronounce as 'ya'.

juniors will be seen as being impolite if never reply in the proper way.

so for bros who will be visiting ur bx/bg mother/father,pls bear that in mind....

Adding on, if u talking to someone younger or lower in authority than you, you can use "uh" in answering their questions.
