- This term was coined in the bay area to shorten the common phrase “You know what I mean.” The word is pronounced very quickly, sometimes with a tongue roll in between the the "Ya" and the "mean." The final morpheme, ‘mean,’ can be clipped off and ‘yadidi?’ can be used independently to also mean ‘you know what I mean?’
