When to use it

Use 'Да' to agree with someone or to confirm something. It is appropriate in both formal and informal settings. You can use it in conversations, meetings, or when answering questions.

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 'Да' with 'нет' (no), so be careful to use the correct one.

The fastest way to remember it

Vocabulary you only read fades fast. Vocabulary you say out loud sticks. Hear Да, repeat it a few times, then use it in a real sentence. SPAIKING lets you practice exactly that, speaking Russian with a coach that corrects your pronunciation in real time. You can start with two free conversations.
