Cultural Tip
In Spanish, affirmation always carries the accent: 'sí'. When confirming a number, it’s common to repeat the number for clarity, especially in noisy environments like airports or train stations. Remember that 'ser' (es) is used for identity, while 'estar' would be wrong here because a number is a defining characteristic, not a temporary state.
