A '''reply''' is a statement or acknowledgment made in response to an interrogative [[question]], request or comment. <ref>{{cite web|url=http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=reply|title=Reply|publisher=WordNet|language=English|accessdate=2008-05-19}}</ref> Replies are communicated in a variety of ways, the most common being spoken or written, and act as a way of conveying relevant information and continuing a conversational exchange. A simple reply can take the form of a single word, for example "yes" or "no", or can be expressed via body language, such as nodding the head or winking. |
