I always remember 'n y e t' is Russian for no from the song, n y e t, n y e t, n y e t, not any more. But when you look at the word it's way to see that the consonants are the same.
In English and German for yes are similar. English yes and German pronounced ya, yes and ya, although the German is written Ja. I imagine most people would immediately see that. If you need another memory aid, try, Yes, I'm all right Jack. yes-ja.
The Russian for yes is da. It rhymes with the German for yes, Ja (pronounced ya).
