أكيد

Certain

Saying you're sure, and checking that someone else is

An advanced conversation is mostly made of shades of certainty. This section walks down the scale, from certain to impossible, and this lesson is the top of it.

"أكيد" on its own is a complete answer, the way "definitely" is in English. "تَأَكَّد" is the verb for making sure of something, and "صَدَّق" is believing someone when they tell you.
