How to use YH?
YH is used to give affirmation in face-to-face conversation as well as online and text conversations.
Commonly, it is used in answering a yes or no question or while agreeing with someone in a discussion. In addition, YH can be used independently to reply in assertion or as a part of a longer sentence to give more background.
Person 1 | Are you going to attend the concert tomorrow? |
Person 2 | YH! |
In the above example, YH is used to answer a yes or no question. Acronym YH instead of Yeah or Yes is used to tell Person 1 that they will attend the concert without elaborating on the situation using more words or sentences.
Person 1 | John seems heartbroken after he lost the match against Sam. |
Person 2 | Yh, it was a tough loss. I will speak to him once I reach home. |
In the second example, Yh is used to agree with Person 1’s statement. After affirmation with YH, Person 2 elaborates by adding their thoughts.
