When to say 'yes' or 'no'. In Japanese and Korean, an affirmative response like「はい」means that what I was questioned is 'true', while 'yes' in English means that I 'do', response is unchanged and independent by the way it was questioned.

How context sensitive Japanese is. A word can have a different meaning depending on where you use it. It’s kinda cool
