Word of Advice
In English, responding with “Yes.” , or “OK” is often considered rude.
You should try to frame it with something else, so as not to come across as rude.
- Yes, sure thing.
- Yes, of course.
- Yep! / Yup!
- OK, no problem.
- Okey dokey!
- Sounds good to me.
- No problem!
- No probs.
I notice this with students sometimes. I might ask if they’re attending a lesson, and they will reply with ‘Yes’. Now, I know they don’t mean to be rude, but in English, it does come across as such.
So, for future reference, frame your “Yes” and “OK” to soften your responses.
