When to use it

You can use this word to agree with someone or to confirm information. It is commonly used in conversations when responding positively. It can be used in both formal and casual settings.

Say it out loud, get corrected

Reading it is not the same as saying it. Practice "Yes" and thousands more with an AI coach that listens.

Common mistake
Some learners might confuse 'ແມ່ນ' with 'ບໍ່', which means 'no'. Remember that 'ແມ່ນ' is always affirmative.
