Kantan Kana?
What's that?

and romaji helps.
but it is a hindrance to reading.

@quiet:
this is difficult because it can be taken as "yes" or "oh". it's casual and is more used as an "oh" rather than a "yes". I personally haven't heard it used as a "yes" in any places other than anime. But that's not to say it isn't. I'm not fluent but the more common ways are "hai", "un", and "ee".
