More about Ye

Ye is the everyday word for a or one before a thing: ye chai is a tea. It is different from yek, which you use to count out loud, and the course's memory hook keeps them apart on purpose. After Ye there is no ta: ye chai, lotfan, not ye ta chai. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 3, in the lesson about how many, so you learn both the counted way and the casual way to order one. It also appears in Ye lahze, which means one moment.
