Yes and No

Fun fact, Nay in Korean means yes and Nae in Hindi means no. This would rarely be a problem except I had become quite accustom to elongating my Nay's while in Korea as I tried to emulate, speak, and occasionally mock Koreans. I realize it has been over a year since my last time in Korea and I rarely use my limited Korean however you become use to it to the point that you do it without thinking, and being in an Asian country I keep slipping and using Nay in the wrong context. Right now I have to make a conscious effort to use Nae in the correct fashion and avoid confusion.
