''[[He Who Says Yes]]'' (''Der Jasager'' - literally The Yes Sayer; also translated as The Affirmer or He Said Yes) is an opera (specifically a ''Schuloper'' or "school-opera") by Kurt Weill to a German libretto by Bertolt Brecht (after Elisabeth Hauptmann's translation from Arthur Waley's English version of the Japanese Nō drama ''Taniko'').

It was first performed in Berlin by students of the Akademie für Kirchen- und Schulmusik at the Zentralinstitut für Erziehung und Unterricht on 23 June 1930 and broadcast simultaneously on radio.
