It means (Yes) also (IF) like in english, but in spanish we use โ€œSIโ€ in both cases.

It means yes.

Rocio and Adaguevara are both correct! In case youโ€™re curious,ย sรญ, written with an accent, means โ€œyes,โ€ whileย si, written without an accent, means โ€œif.โ€

  • โ€œVas a ir al concierto?โ€ โ€œSรญ, ยฟtรบ?โ€ (โ€œAre you going to go to the concert?โ€ โ€œYes, you?โ€
  • Si yo fuera tรบ, no le dirรญa nada. (If I were you, I wouldnโ€™t tell him anything.)

However, many people drop accents when they write informally. In those cases, youโ€™ll have to tell the difference between the two words through context.

  • โ€œte gustaย el helado?โ€ โ€œsi estaย muy ricoโ€ (โ€œdo you like the ice cream?โ€ โ€œyes itโ€™s very tastyโ€)
