"Why not?" can be an alternative for "Yes". For example: A: Would you like to drink something? B: Why not?

I think 'I would love to' can also be an alternative to "Yes". A:Would you like to drink something? B:I would love to . A:Can we go for a dinner tonight? B:Yeah, I would love to.

Hello Lucy! I'm from Argentina and a very common way to say "yes" is "De una". You know a lot of Spanish so I'll give you and example in Spanish for ya: -Querés tomar un helado? -De una (We use "querés" instead of "quieres", which is used in Spain). We use "De una" to express agreement too. Is another common meaning. Great video!! We are waiting for you over here.

Okay, which is being used In Hebrew also, has many alternatives in Hebrew. Every word that is acceptable as a single word answer for "How are you" is actually acceptable as an alternative for Okay in many cases. For example: "How are you? - Great" - "I'll call you back in a minute - Okay/Great". I think that it can work in english as well for some words: fine/great/terrific. And also (which not related to this rule) "no problem".
