Bonjour tout le monde
j'ai un petit problém avec la situation suivante
If you ask somebody to do you a favor what’s the correct answer to explain your agreement
For example:
THE MAN
Can you please make me a cup of coffee?
THE MAID
Yes/ okay/ or what she can say

Merci les amis

For example:
THE MAN
Can you please make me a cup of coffee?

THE MAID
Yes/ okay/ or what she can say

Formal
Yes, sir!
Right/Straight away, sir.

(usually one follows the response to a request for coffee or tea with the following. But a maid/butler might already know the requestor's preference)
Would you like cream and sugar ... honey and lemon?

Less formal
Sure!
Coming right up!
Just a sec! (second)

Negative (maid will be fired)
Get up off your lazy butt and make it yourself!

Hope this helps!
