📝Second important use of krap and ka

Krap and ka can be used in polite way to answer "yes" to a question. When they're used alone in response to a statement, they don't really mean anything except to signify you've heard and understood the statement and are still listening. This is a common response for an employee when receiving orders from the boss, or a waiter from a customer for instance.

For example if your sir is giving you instructions

Conversation between Sir and employ

Sir: .............................................................

employ : krap

Sir: ............................................................. .............................................................

employ : krap
