Always use the accent mark on 'sí' to avoid confusion with the conditional 'si'.

'Sí' is the standard way to say 'yes' in Spanish, used in both formal and informal contexts.

From Latin 'sic', meaning 'thus' or 'so'.

In Spanish, 'sí' is always written with an accent to distinguish it from the pronoun 'si' (if).
