As a non-native English speaker these sentences are very confusing to me. I'm not used to English in an informal setting, and they seem overly informal answers with implied meanings.
- saagarjha 7y agoThey're relatively informal, but they all generally mean "yes" and I would not be against using a response like this when replying to a friend or close acquaintance.
- enriquto 7y agoWait, does "I'm down" mean "yes" ? I thought it means "I'm a bit depressed".
- SmellyGeekBoy 7y agoYes, although as a Brit I see this as an Americanism, it's certainly not common usage here. I believe it's generally used when being invited to an event for example - "Do you want to come bowling with us on Friday?" "I'm down" However, it's not always interchangeable with "yes" - for example: "Did you get the server migration finished over the weekend?" "I'm down" ... Would be completely wrong.
- saagarjha 7y ago“I’m feeling down” usually means you’re depressed; “I’m down” is expressing agreement/inclination (as in “I’m down to go eat”).
