Most foreigners know what the german word "Ja" means, but not many know what "Ja Ja" means.
No, it's not "Yes Yes"

Naja, oder?

Exactly — when a German says **“ja, ja”**, it usually doesn’t mean an enthusiastic *“yes, yes!”*

It’s more like a dismissive or skeptical *“yeah, yeah…”* in English — as in:

* **“Ja, ja…”** *“Yeah, yeah, whatever.”*
* **Tone:** often impatient, ironic, or slightly annoyed.

So if someone says *„Ja, ja, schon gut“*, they’re probably not agreeing with you warmly — they’re telling you to drop it.

Would you like me to give a few examples of how “ja” vs “ja, ja” can change the tone of a sentence?

Here "ja ja" basically means "yes i know", something you answer to a woman who can't stop nagging you.

Thanks, jeetGPT

In German, "ja ja" is a friendlier way of saying "Leck mich am Arsch".

No, I will not tell you what "leck mich am Arsch" means.
>>
>>216604491
that's not correct
Ja Ja actually means "lick on my arse" in german
>>
>>216604079
In England, we say "cha cha cha cha -- charming!", I assume that Germans do the same
>>
>>216604575
I can't believe you told him what leck mich am Arsch" means after I refuse to tell him what leck mich am Arsch" means
