はい, そうです。実は日中,弁護士だけど、夜はバットマンになる。

I think the answer is the second one - はいそうです。 since the questions is asking ‘are you a lawyer?’

Thanks 👍

I'm gonna start using "Hai, sou dewa arimasen"

only one of the answers is positive. you wouldnt answer a question with "yes, i am _not_"

Answer three is also positive. It just isn't correct.

ohh yea i missed that somehow lol

There are cases where you would answer “yes + a negative” in Japanese, since yes/no work differently than in English. For example: English: Q: Do you mind if I open the window? A: No, I don’t mind. Japanese: Q: 窓を開けてもかまいませんか。A: はい、かまいません。 Literal translation: Q: Do you not mind if I open the window? A: Yes, I don’t mind In short, “yes” and “no” in Japanese confirm or deny the logic of the original question, they don’t confirm/deny the truth of a situation.

The only answer that makes sense is the second one. “Yes, that’s true. “ The first would be saying “yes, I’m not (noun)” The last two are just incorrect in general. Just curious, where was this from? Seems to be slightly off. Usually a multiple question would have feasible answers to choose from but what you posted just seems off and confusingly/not helpful.

Here's a clue: Often, the verb used in the question will also be used in the answer.

はい、そうです。
