Jawohl is a German word that means "yes." It's a more emphatic and formal way of saying "ja" (yes). While "ja" is the standard and most common way to agree, "jawohl" expresses stronger affirmation, agreement, or compliance, often implying obedience or eagerness.
It's sometimes translated as "yes, sir!" or "yes, indeed!" to capture its tone. Historically, it was commonly used in military contexts and hierarchical settings to show deference and willingness to follow orders. Its use today can sometimes sound old-fashioned, overly formal, or even ironic depending on the context and tone of voice. Using it sarcastically can imply reluctance or even mock obedience.
