When my grandson was a toddler and answered questions with a
positive answer he would say, “Nes”. We
laughed about it as it seemed a combination of no and yes. After dwelling on it I started thinking…perhaps
he is saying maybe. I couldn’t be sure. Eventually he learned to say yes in a manner
that left no doubt as to what he meant.
Since then I’ve decided “nes” is not a bad idea. When you want to say yes, but you have your
doubts perhaps “nes” is the answer you really would like to utilize. I think I shall keep that idea in my pocket
and one day when I am asked a question and I am not sure how to answer I may
just say, “nes”.
