'Yes' is still ok. '~yesu' can just go to hell.

"です DESU is the state-of-being verb in Japanese. It means "is" or "are". です DESU is the dictionary form of the state-of-being verb, meaning it is only appropriate in present tense, positive, and polite context. A seperate form is required to say "is not" or "was" or to more casually express "is"."
Therefore a
true translation would have to put is(u) or are(u) in the middle to a sentence.....
This issue is(u) that everyone uses desu, but Sui uses desuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu which is(u) her thing and when people use yesu they are playing on the fact that when you hear desu it sounds like des (no u), so Sui would say it like yesu with a u.....
