<!-- (Audio) Mateo: ¿Puedes repetirlo? Camila: Claro. -->

--description--

Now, if someone asks you if you can do something, you will usually need to confirm whether you can or not. The good news is that Spanish offers very simple ways to answer that question.

After a request like ¿Puedes repetirlo?, you can confirm the request in a short and natural way. Common ways to say yes include:

  • Claro - Sure / Of course.

  • - Yes.

  • Está bien - Okay / That's fine.

These brief responses are very common in everyday Spanish conversations.
