Yes it's Disgusting

In sending messages to each other in Indonesian there are many occasions where a simple affirmative is called for as in, "Are you coming today?" The typical answer is iya or ya meaning yes. I never write iya, always write ya. And there's a reason. In Japanese, iya is used a lot. It means unpleasant or disagreeable.

Remember the Chevy Nova? It was renamed for places where Spanish is the main language because in Spanish no va means doesn't go.
