I'm working with a support person to fix a phone issue and based on the chat, I'm pretty sure English isn't their first language. During the chat, they asked me to wait a couple minutes while they looked something up and I said "Okie dokie!" in my folksy, affable way. It got me thinking, if they are a non-native English speaker, I wonder what their version of "Okie dokie!" would be. If you speak a language other than English, what's your version of "Okie dokie"? (As a Minnesota resident, I will also accept your version of "Oh yah, you betcha.")

There's a band called Okilly Dokilly that dress up as Nee Flanders and play music. I listen to them on occasion. It's not exactly what you were asking for, but hopefully you enjoy it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lnfOvc_jGg

In non-English languages they still say it, OP, they just spell it all foreign. "Okidoki!" in the Netherlands, for example. Or in Spanish, ¡Oki doki!

"Okey Makey" in spanish, although everyone will look at you as if you were a boomer attempting to look cool if you say it.

In Hebrew there's the similarly saccharine "Yofy Toffy" (Yofy being "good, ok, great", and Toffy being taffy). It rhymes.
