You'll see "ouais" written in books and people recognize it to mean yeah or yup, but in the spoken language of French Québec, yeah is said in a different way.

I racking my brain as to how I can possibly write this so you'll understand the sound.

O.k., think of the word "wine"

The sound the WI makes finished with a barely perceptible exhaled middle-of-the-mouth vowel sound.

No help here, eh?

Oh, and people also say ouaip
