what is the Spanish equivalent of "O.K."

Question

English speakers use the expression "o.k." as a term of acknowledgement. Do Hispanics, especially in the USA and Mexico have an equivalent term?

Answer 1

From a recent post:

Yes "Estoy bien." is correct -- however the english word "okay" is now a Spanish word "okey" and is very common.

So you could also use: "Okey."

This was posted by our old friend "James-Santiago" on the WR forum about the word "ok/okay/okey":

James-Santiago said:

"By the way, this word has been credited with being the most popular word on Earth, and appears in nearly every modern language."

Answer 2

I know that "vale" is one way of expressing this. But I do not think it is the preferred way in Mexico.

I have actually heard most people in Latin America use "o.k.", although I'm not sure if they were imitating Americans when doing this.

Answer 3

O.K. = Bien/ está bien/ de acuerdo.......

Answer 4

"Bien" I would say, but wait for natives

Answer 5

When I hear people talking especially on their mobiles the word "vale" is spoken frequently almost every other word.
