Yes and no

Yes and no are one of several pairs of words used to express the affirmative and the negative, respectively, in several modern languages including English.

English originally used a four-form system up to and including Early Middle English but Modern English has reduced this to a two-form system consisting of just 'yes' and 'no'. Some languages do not answer yes–no questions with single words meaning 'yes' or 'no'. Welsh and Finnish are among several languages that typically employ echo answers (repeating the verb with either an affirmative or negative form) rather than using words for 'yes' and 'no', though both languages do also have words broadly similar to 'yes' and 'no'. Other languages have systems named two-form, three-form, and four-form systems, depending on how many words for yes and no they employ. Some languages, such as Latin, have no yes-no word systems.

The words yes and no are not easily classified into any of the eight conventional parts of speech. Although sometimes classified as interjections, they do not qualify as such, and they are not adverbs. They are sometimes classified as a part of speech in their own right, sentence words, word sentences, or pro-sentences, although that category contains more than yes and no and not all linguists include them in their lists of sentence words. Sentences consisting solely of one of these two words are classified as minor sentences.

Aye (song)

"Aye" (pronounced ah yay) is a song by Nigerian recording artist Davido, released as the fourth single from his upcoming studio album. The song was produced by TSpize, a record producer affiliated with Runtown. It peaked at number 5 on MTV Base's Official Naija Top 10 chart from March 28 through April 3, 2014. The song was primarily released to celebrate Valentine's Day.

Composition

It was alleged that Davido bought the song from Runtown, an artist who featured him on "Gallardo".

Critical reception

Upon its release, the song was met with great reception. Micheal Abimboye of Premium Times commented on the song, stating that "over T-Spice's mid tempo beats, Davido sometimes mimics Wande Coal's rhyming style. The beat is reminiscent of that made popular by kegite clubs. The cool tempo makes the song enjoyable and reminds one of an old school video of a generation past slow-grooving to high-life in a jazz club."

A writer for Fuse stated that "Aye's melody and instrumental is charismatic. It has a way of making your head move even when the forces beyond human nature tries to deny it. From the pressing musical notes on the guitar we can agree that this is a song best enjoyed with a live band. Aye provides a sing along vibe that catches the lips of both old and young as they hold on to their Gele' (head gear) or do the Bata dance while singing happily...Aye is an evergreen song of our time that can be played alongside legendary hits from respected icons of the 70's and 80's."
