German Phrase
Ja, ist bestätigt.
Meaning
The sentence means “Yes, it is confirmed.” It is a short, decisive reply that tells the listener that a request, appointment, or piece of information has been officially verified.
When to use
Use this phrase after someone asks whether something has been approved, scheduled, or verified – for example, a meeting time, a reservation, a document, or a news report. It works in both informal and semi‑formal settings, but in very formal business emails you might prefer a longer construction.

✕Common Mistakes
Ja, ist bestätigt.
Missing the implied subject can be confusing if the context isn’t clear; add *das* for clarity in formal writing.
Ja, ist bestätigt!
Exclamation marks are rarely used with this neutral confirmation; they can make the tone sound overly enthusiastic or sarcastic.
Ja, bestätigt ist.
Word order is wrong; the verb *ist* must precede the past participle in a predicative construction.

Ja, das ist bestätigt.
Yes, that is confirmed.
Ja, das wurde bestätigt.
Yes, that has been confirmed.
Bestätigt.
Confirmed.
Cultural Tip
German speakers often keep confirmations short and to the point. Adding *das* (that) makes the sentence a bit more explicit, which is useful in formal emails. In casual conversation, dropping the subject after *Ja* is perfectly natural, but avoid using *Ja, ist bestätigt* in contexts where the listener might not know what is being confirmed – always make sure the antecedent is clear.
