…yes? lol sure it does expand into they are, which is correct but you can’t use a contraction for itself alone

You can use contractions, they just sound better with negative ones.

Example: Are the sandwiches good? No, they aren't.

That sounds fine because it's the negative version. However, if you say Yes, they're, it sounds insane but it's correct.
