Ándele pues 1

Ándele pues 2

Ándele pues seems to mean, in some areas, "OK, then", "OK", or "I agree".

Also can mean "Let's go"...But that has no realtion to Si', which generally just meas "Yes", "OK", ....

-------------------------------

Pues alone has several meanings
Quote:

I conj
1 (puesto que) since, as: no lo hagas, pues no lo necesitas, don't do it, since you don't need it
2 (en consecuencia) then
3 (vacilación) well
4 (como pregunta) ¿y pues?, and so?
5 (uso enfático) pues entonces vamos, we'll go then

II excl ¡pues claro que sí!, well, of course!

Pues 1

Pues 2
