How do you say "will do"?

Question

In America, if someone asks you to do something for them and you are agreeable to doing it, you would reply "will do". How do I say "will do" in Spanish?

Answer 1

Gringo is right: ¡Hecho! and also ¡Sale! in Mexico is very common.

HCAStudent makes a very good point, which works in both directions; Sale would never make sense in English.

Hecho and Done, however, are perfectly translatable - a rare occasion.

KiwiGirl has provided a good alternative, but it´s not exactly the same because it´s almost impossible to translate idioms which Will do in effect is because it is participle.

Answer 2

Sí, lo haré .

technically this is "I will do it." Often it is spoken alone "Haré" or "Sí", haré. - gringojrf, Dec 4, 2013

One more thing. "Hecho" is often used even though the thing has not yet been done as a way of saying that it will be done. - gringojrf, Dec 4, 2013

Hecho -- consider it done! - annierats, Dec 4, 2013

Answer 3

Hmmm, this is interesting. I´m sure I´ve heard Hecho too, just as we can say Done in English, to mean we will do it, even when it´s really the future.

My question then is, that I¨ve often just said ¨Lo hago¨, as in, ¨I´ll do it¨

Is that incorrect, or unnatural sounding? If so, then my next fave ¨Hecho¨ is what I should go with in the future?

Thanks Roger

Had to laugh. Like me wondering if my Spanish sounds cool or totally dorkey. Most likely the latter :) - dennywells, Dec 5, 2013

Answer 4

I have heard "dicho y hecho". No sooner said than done.

Answer 5

Some phrases don't translate into Spanish from English I'm afraid. You could say Voy a hacer, but that doesn't really work. Sorry!
