嗯呐 (ēn nà) — Yeah

Yeah, that's right / uh-huh — a distinctly Beijing affirmative sound used to agree, confirm, or acknowledge. More casual and warm than a standard 对 (correct). Unmistakably northern Chinese and a strong marker of genuine Beijing speech.

Example Usage

你说明天见面？嗯呐，我到时候给你发消息。

You said we are meeting tomorrow? Uh-huh, I will message you then.
