can someone please explain to me how to use " ya " in spanish with examples?
- Spanish (Spain)
It's used to emphasize a change from "not happened" to "happened" at a given time:
Ya he comido (I've already eaten).
Ya verás como la segunda vez te gusta más (you'll see how the second time it pleases you more)
Ya no te quiero (I dont love you anymore).
We also use it a lot as agreement (in Spain at least):
A: Este restaurante es muy bueno.
B: Ya! (Yeah, you are right)

Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Spanish (Spain)
In Spain, when we say "I'm coming", we say: Ya voy!
Here ya means right now, it always indicates a change
