Informal:

* Ehe: This is a more casual way to say "yes," often used by younger people or in playful situations.

* Yup: This is an English borrowing and commonly used in everyday conversation.

Other variations:

* Talaga: This literally means "really," but it can be used to express agreement, like saying "yes, really!"
