Hiya! - What's the difference between JA and JO? arent both the same as YES?

Thanks for answering!:)

- Hmm, me and explaining :D Both mean 'yes'

[i]Ja[/i] is used as an answer to something positive:
Er du her? - Are you here?
Ja - Yes

[i]Jo[/i] is used as an answer to something negative:
Er du her ikke? - Aren't you here?
Jo - Yes
Usually negative questions contain the word [i]ikke (not)[/i]. Of course these rules differ in certain contexts, but this is just to simplify it :) Hmm, I tried :p

Er du her ikke? ... Ok, men kan man også sige "Er du ikke her?" Er det fordi du er et pronomen?

Jeg mener at... Hvis det var Michael som ikke var her, skulle det være "Er Michael ikke her?"

Oh, jeg blev forvirret! :p

- Ja, man kan også sige "Er du ikke her?", men så lægger man vægt på, at vedkommende ikke er lige her på det pågældende sted. Ved at sige "Er du her ikke?" menes der mere, om vedkommende er til stede
Ja, enten "Er Michael ikke her?" eller "Er Michael her ikke?"

Nu håber jeg ikke, du blev mere forvirret :p
