Answer 1

In most of south america I found it was always dale, esta bien or okay (with a spanish accent of course!) and in uruguay, they also say 'sta' (as in shortned esta)

Answer 2

Bién, or even more common,

"Está bién."

Or the equivalent of "Okee Dokee"

¡Sale vale!

Sale vale...me gusta!! :D - SonrisaDelSol, Sep 13, 2011

Answer 3

In English, we say "OK" or "okay". In Spanish, we say...

Vale

I've also heard "bien".

or bueno. A lot depends on how OK is being used...¿como una muletilla? - 0074b507, Sep 13, 2011

Vale is Iberian, as jeezzle points out. Nothing wrong with that! - Jeremias, Sep 13, 2011

Answer 4

In Costa Rica it is - Está bien or I always hear native speakers just say OK

Answer 5

Hay muchas formas de decir "ok". Se dice "vale" en España y"'bueno" o "está bien" en ciertos países. Pero, que yo sepa es común decir "okey" (con esta ortografía) en todos los países hispanos.

Answer 6

Bueno is far more common than "Vale" around here. I think "vale" is less Mexican at least around here. In fact, OK is far more common than "Vale" around here. Outside of TV shows I would venture that I have never heard any Mexican use vale to mean OK, although I'm sure some regions use it. Same goes for "venga ya", "mola", "inodoro", regional differences you know.

You are right.... everyone uses OK -- same in lots of languages. - Daniel, Sep 13, 2011
