If a friend asks, “Thai or Italian?”, and either option suits you, you can answer, “I'm easy.” Cambridge Dictionary defines the phrase as saying that you do not mind which choice is made. In casual Australian conversation, it is a brief, relaxed way to mean, “Either is fine; you decide.”
It does not mean “I'm an easy person”, and translating each word separately misses the expression. Its tone is usually friendlier than “I don't care”, which can sound impatient or uninterested. In a formal setting, or when the listener may not know the phrase, “Either is fine with me” is clearer.
“Do you want the 6 pm or 7 pm session?” “I'm easy—whichever suits you.”
