      What's the proper use of indeed? It's a word that I actually really like to use, however I do not often hear it myself from other people. Is indeed rather formal (mainly used in written language) or is it more often used in oral conversations? I use the word indeed when I want to put emphasis on something. For instance, if somebody would ask me: Have you been to the cinema yesterday? I would probably answer: Yes, indeed, instead of only saying yes.

      Unlike you I've heard many time the word indeed, mostly on videogames. In italian language there is a very similar word to indeed as meaning (INFATTI) so I agree with what Monox said. It's just as say "exactly" or "yea that's it" but also to get emphasis in something. 

      I think so...
