    and those as well :

    да, конечно
    да, разумеется
    да, безусловно
    да, в самом деле


    and perhaps even more than just those five. Russian is very flexible when you translate such English words.

    But it works backwords not always :
    all they can be expressed by other English words - not just indeed :
    like yes of course, yes surely, yes completelly, yes actually, yes in fact and other.
    Я так думаю.

    What about: да так есть!

    ike yes of course, yes surely, yes completelly, yes actually, yes in fact and other.
    "Yes of course" is good but the others sound a little unnatural to me, unless maybe they form the beginning of a sentance aren't just on their own as an expression.

    Yes Да - так и есть! or Да, так и есть! fitts to Yes indeed as well.
    And I meant...I meant that in their turn every Russian word in the above MAY be translated like of course, yes surely, yes completelly, yes actually, yes in fact and other.
    I was trying to say that when we translate backwords - from Russian to English, then words like конечно, разумеется, безусловно and other will be translated not dirrectly in yes indeed does it make any sense?
    Я так думаю.
