"yais" can't be defined conventionally. one would be less successful at defining "yais" than he/she would be at defining the contemporary english language's utility infielder, "like". "yais" is a state of mind. "yais" is understanding and misunderstanding, as well as all points described on the subsequent continuum.
you are lovely, yais; gay, yais; yais? yais; is two plus two, four? yais; (if i had the character spaces to continue, i probably wouldn't. yais.)

"yais" is a different way of saying "yes." From what I can tell, it's origins are from the West Virginian area. All you'll ever need to know is that it means "yes" or "yeah."

Used in the place of "yes" yay-eee-s
Expression used to acknowledge a comment that is exceedingly odd or beyond the listeners level of understanding. Also used as a way of providing an answer without actually answering anything. Often one may incorporate a pause as to create the illusion that they are actually thinking of a valid answer or comment. One may also use "yais" as a way of covering up his/her daydreaming while in a conversation. For an example of how to say "yais" properly listen to tom hanks in the movie "The Terminal".
