Oui
A simple affirmative answer meaning 'yes'.
j' (je)
The subject pronoun 'je' (I) contracts with a vowel-starting verb (ai) to become j'.
ai (avoir)
First‑person singular present of the auxiliary verb 'avoir', used to form the passé composé.
confirmé

✕Common Mistakes
Oui, j'ai confirmée la réservation.
The past participle does not agree with the subject when using 'avoir' unless a preceding direct object exists.
Oui, j'ai confirmer la réservation.
The infinitive 'confirmer' must be in its past participle form 'confirmé' for the passé composé.
Oui, j'ai confirmé le réservation.
The noun 'réservation' is feminine, so the article must be 'la', not 'le'.

Cultural Tip
In French business or hospitality contexts, confirming a reservation is often followed by a brief recap of the details (date, time, number of guests). Politeness matters: you might add 'merci de votre patience' (thank you for your patience) if the other person waited for the confirmation.
