“Righto, See You Then.” Means “Okay, See You Then”

“Righto, See You Then.” Means “Okay, See You Then”

“Righto” is an informal Australian response meaning “okay”, “understood” or “let’s do that”. It can answer a proposed arrangement or acknowledge an instruction. Here, right is not an adjective meaning “correct”; righto functions as a complete response, usually with a brisk, friendly tone.

For example: “Meet outside the station at six?” “Righto, see you then.” In a formal email, Okay or Certainly is usually safer. Righto is distinctly conversational and can sometimes sound slightly playful or old-fashioned. Its main job is not to express enthusiastic approval, but to confirm that you have understood and accepted what happens next.
