If you’re learning Greek, you probably already know that ναι (nai) means “yes.” But in everyday conversation, Greeks have several other ways to agree — and they don’t all sound exactly the same.

Here are four you’ll hear all the time.

From “Ναι” to “Εννοείται!”

✅ Ναι
The standard and simplest way to say “yes.”

😊 Ναι, βέβαια!
A warmer, more emphatic “yes,” similar to “yes, of course!”

👍 Φυσικά!
Literally “naturally,” but used just like “of course!” in English.

🌯 Εννοείται!
This is a very common and natural response when the answer feels obvious — something like “Of course!”, “Absolutely!” or even “Obviously!”, depending on your tone.

For example:

Θέλεις σουβλάκι;
Do you want souvlaki?

Εννοείται! 😄
Of course!

Which one should you use?

You can’t go wrong with ναι, but learning alternatives like βέβαια, φυσικά, and εννοείται will help you understand everyday conversations and make your own Greek sound more natural.

Sometimes, knowing the language isn’t just about knowing the correct word — it’s about knowing what people actually say.
