yea vs yeah vs yay :

yea or yeah or yay

Yeah is the word you want when you want to say ‘yes’ informally. 

“Should we order pizza?” “Yeah, let’s do that.”

Yea is an old-fashioned word that was used to mean ‘yes’ in a vote. People would say ‘yea’ for yes and ‘nay’ for no.

Yay is the exclamation that shows you are happy and excited. 

“I got an A on the exam!” “Yay! Good for you!”
