I think so

Uncertain yes response

A response indicating qualified agreement or tentative affirmation.

It confirms something while acknowledging uncertainty: Will she be there? I think so.

The phrase hedges—stronger than maybe but weaker than yes.

It can also signal that you're fairly confident but not completely certain: Is this the right address? I think so.
