Thread: Легко

Russians teenagers (and not only teenagers. Me too ) have begun to use "легко" instead of "да".

- Сходи за хлебом.
- Легко.

- Давай встретимся завтра.
- Легко.

Also it's not quite clear to translate it as "да". The word "хорошо" is a better variant.
The long and quite precise translation is
Хорошо, я согласен и мне легко это сделать, совершенно не напряжно
