Used when you have a response related to the question by using '요' as the short answer. A way to reply with just a noun, without having to repeat any of what has just been said.
Example
어디까지가세요? 서울역이요.
Where are you going? Seoul Station.
아들아, 점심은뭐먹었니? 라면요.
Son, what did you eat for lunch? Ramen.
몇분예약도와드릴까요? 10명요.
How many people are you making a reservation for? 10 people.
The same can be done in English. Eg. "What is your name?".
Long answer "My name is John."
Short answer "John".
Since it would be rude in Korean to just say "John". You can add this N+(이)요. Not to be confused with N+이다 + V+요.
