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

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."
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.
O.K. = Bien/ está bien/ de acuerdo.......
When I hear people talking especially on their mobiles the word "vale" is spoken frequently almost every other word.
"Bien" I would say, but wait for natives
