I guess both versions are not right:):) If someone calls over the phone and asks if it is The Embassy Of Thailand, then the answer is "Yes, it is."
Like this: -Hello. Is it The Embassy of Thailand? -Yes, it is.
"Right, or you are right "are usually used when you approve of something or simply agree. In English the answer depends on the question asked. |

Hello,
I have read your answer and you write "Yes" with capital. Is it a mistake or the word yes is like the first letter of sentence always in capital?
Thank for your reply, have a nice day. :) _________________ Do not hesitate to correct me. |

Hi French,
Of course, it is the first letter of that sentence. But I should have started it on the next line. |

Hello, I am a little particular, because, I'm learning alone English, and I try to avoid the mistakes.
I need to be sure before to record it in my brain.
Thank for your patience.
Have a nice day. :) _________________ Do not hesitate to correct me. |

In the introductory post of this thread the author proffered the caller's question thusly:
- Is there Thailand embassy?
If that question were directed toward me, and I felt like being a smartass, I would reply, "Why yes, there certainly is a Thai embassy."
:)
The question might better be posed like this:
Is this the Thai embassy?
or
Is this the embassy of Thailand? _________________ Billie Jean is not my lover. Hee. |

I feel too, you are a smartass! Dialling from somewhere far away, how can I say 'Is this Thai Embassy?'. Of cousrse, you say it as a Nashville slang! Different places, different tongues! |
