"I'll be right back" in native Latin American Spanish

Question

If I want to say "I'll be right back" when I am chatting to someone online but need to go to somewhere and back in a minute, do I say:

"Estaré de regreso" or "estaré de vuelta"?

What about "regresaré" or "volveré"?

Do people say it this way: "Regreso en un momento?"

What about if I want to mean I will return on another day, like on Monday?

Is there a polite way or otherwise? Is there a formal or informal way?

Sorry for so many questions, but I am really interested in learning the proper native Latin American Spanish.

Muchas gracias!

John

Hi! Welcome to SD!

Estaré de regreso" or "estaré de vuelta"? Correct!

What about "regresaré" or "volveré"? Correct!

Do people say it this way: "Regreso en un momento?" Correct!

And sure! You can say something like -- Vuelvo el lunes or seguimos hablando el lunes.

Answer 2

The future is often expressed in the present tense in Spanish. I've heard people say "be right back" in a few different ways, including "ya vengo", "ya vuelvo", "vuelvo enseguida", and "ahorita regreso".

Ya vengo is the most common around here. - lorenzo9, Oct 29, 2011
