How do you say yes in Maltese?

There are a few ways to say "yes" in Maltese, depending on the context and formality:

Formal:

* Iva (ee-vah) - This is the most common and formal way to say "yes."

Informal:

* Iva (ee-vah) - This is also used informally, but it can sound more abrupt.

* Ejja (ay-jah) - This is a more casual and affirmative way to say "yes," often used to agree to something.

* Eh (eh) - This is a very informal and short way to say "yes," often used in response to a simple question.

Other variations:

* Iva, tabilħaqq (ee-vah ta-bil-hakk) - This means "yes, indeed" and emphasizes agreement.

* Iva, żgur (ee-vah zurr) - This means "yes, definitely" and indicates strong affirmation.

The best way to choose the right "yes" is to consider the situation and your relationship with the person you are speaking to.
