yea

'certainly' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'english used in description of teen fiction?' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'used in' indicates putting letters inside.
'description of teen fiction?' becomes 'ya' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'e' put into 'ya' is 'YEA'.

Can you help me to learn more?
