"Yes!"

Translation: Ja!

[dontbeakoala]

Ja or jo? What is the difference?

[NeleHeike]

No answer until today? I have the same question.
Sometimes I get a wrong, but I don't know why.

[Skidbladner]

'Jo' is used when one negates a negative statement:

A: "Du är väl inte gammal" -- "You are not old"

B: "Jo, det är jag" -- "Yes, I am"

A: "Det här går aldrig" -- "This will never work"

B: "Jo, det gör det" -- "Yes, it will"

It can also be used to signal reluctant agreement:

A: "Det var nog mest tur" -- "It was probably mostly luck"

B: "Jo, du kan ha rätt" -- "Yes, you may be right"

What is the difference in pronunciation between 'ja' (yes) and 'jag' (me)? Independently they sound different, but in context of a sentence often sound the same to me.

[yaboi5298]

Apparently none
