How to Say ‘Yes, that would be fine, please.’ in Japanese
はい、それでお願いします。
hai sore de o negai shi masu
[hai soh-reh deh oh neh-guy shee mahs]
💬 Usage Tip: それで here means "with that", so それでお願いします accepts an offer as given. It works for any option someone suggests to you.
🇯🇵 In Japan: Accepting a counteroffer graciously, without pushing further, is the expected move. Haggling a second time with a boss would seem pushy.
