The Greek word for yes is nai. It is a little hard to reconcile at first that yes sounds like no. But its usage is interesting in its repetitive nature. A single nai is more of an acknowledgement as a listener, similar to uh-huh. But a common usage is nai nai nai, which seems to be the more affirmative response. We would rarely say yes yes yes in English, but this shows agreement in Greek.
Yes Yes Yes
