How To Say "Yes or No" in Tagalog
You should not take for granted answering Yes or No to a simple Yes or No question as such response may either make your life complicated.

Answering Yes or No is such a simple and short response but sometimes, responding Yes or No to a question gets really complicated especially if you cannot give a direct Yes or No answer. Think first before you answer because sometimes, it will be very hard to take back your response and you will end up having to live up to your decision.
If you hastily gave your response of either Yes or No to a very important question, then later on realized that you made a mistake for giving the wrong answer, you will just have to swallow your pride, take the courage to apologize, and have the guts to open your mouth and speak while carefully explaining to that person why you are taking back your answer to his or her question. That person might gladly accept your apology without your response being a big deal or you will end up hurting the other person's feelings that may lead to an argument, a bitter exchange of words, or broken relationships. Think first before you give a response to a simple Yes or No question.
