I heard the word ashay (spelling) and was told it means I agree. Just trying to get the correct spelling
Dottie
Ek stem saam/ akkoord
Explanation:
Ashay or anything that sounds similar to it is not Afrikaans, but could possibly be one of the other languages spoken in South Africa. Unfortunately I am not familiar with the term.

agree  Mariènne Botha (X): It is indeed not Afrikaans, but as far as I know, Northern Sotho. It is not only used in agreement but also in acknowledgment - especially when exchanging greetings. Not sure about the spelling.

  -> Thank you for clearing that up :)
agree  Erma: Ek stem saam is correct. Ashay sounds like (D)aarsy, which is spelt Daar is hy, which is also used if in agreement.
