Oui, j'y suis allé.
yes, I LOCATIVE.PRON am gone.

No, I not LOCATIVE.PRON am not gone
2:

Not are-you not gone to the market yesterday?
(Non)(Oui), je n'y suis pas allé.
(No)(Yes), I not LOCATIVE.PRON am not gone
Si, j'y suis allé.
Yes(secondform), I LOCATIVE.PRON am gone.
French has two forms for "yes". The first one (oui) agrees with ANY statement.
The second one (si) doesn't agree with a NEGATIVE statement.
Standard French uses a lot the second form, while my dialect (Québec French) doesn't use it at all.

When asking a negative question, replying with "yes" actually means "Yes, you are right--I did go the store". Replying with "no" means "Nope, just like you thought, didn't go to the store". This is how I asnwer such questions in real life--It ALWAYS confuses people.....

Re: Yes, No.
Ardelian
Ardelian constructs polar, i.e. yes-no questions the same way as corresponding declarative sentences, but the former are marked by rising intonation on the last two syllables of the clause. Polar questions are straightforwardly answered by ya "it’s true” or ne "it isn’t true”, depending on the agreement with the question stated.
A nifty feature of the two questions in this translation is the use of the hesternal tense (HST) which marks actions as happened the day before.
