righto

Casual British assent

Righto is a British and Australian interjection expressing agreement or acknowledgment, more casual than "right" and often cheerfully compliant: Righto, I'll get started on that.

It signals you've understood and will act accordingly.

The word sounds dated or quaint to American ears.
