I'd sense anger or frustration only if they accent the second syllable somewhat louder.She asked me a question, I answered it and she said "Okay. Glad I asked."
Then I gave a little more info and she just said "Okay."
Is she angry? Or is she actually glad she asked because my answer was satisfactory?
"Okay" can mean agreement, disagreement, command, demand, acquiescence, no problem, confusion, or absolutely nothing. It is a sound people make to say "Pay attention to my tone of voice, body language, and facial expression if you want to know what I mean." In other words, to me, it means absolutely nothing.Someone I've been talking to that I really like said "Okay" to me today. Twice in a row.
What does that mean? Is she angry? I don't know what to say. I've been ignoring her all day.
Her last "Okay" is just hanging there. What should I do?
I often use single-answer words to mean more than that one word, especially communicated in tone of voice. While I'm ravenous and trying to gorge myself at dinner, my fiancee will ask how I'm doing. "Fine," I'll say in a hurried tone, frantic and my mind far away. How can the fact that I'm not really fine not be obvious? If I'm tired and withdrawn, I know it's written on my face and in my body language--but how isn't it obvious?Someone I've been talking to that I really like said "Okay" to me today. Twice in a row.

Forgetaboutit!It is a word with so many different contextual meanings. So there really needs to be more context offered here to form an opinion on what it means.
I know what ok means in mr mackey’s language. mkay means got it, agreed, understood, deal, etc. the word mkay is so much better mkayI know what K.O. means in Mortal Kombat

mmmmmkay. Mkay.Agreed!
Or we could all agree to get rid of the “O” and just say K
I think the O is not serving a great purpose in this situation
I don't understand the Aussie language at all. You have developed a secret code.Judge commented very well. In Australia the term is still seen as an Americanism although it's in common use here. Sometimes the accents and emphasis are quite subtle and not easy to pick up but here it quite often means "I think you're full of it but I'm not prepared to start an argument about it.".
With an Aussie comments like "She's apples." or "It's all good." are more trustworthy.
I've seen quite a few of them over the years, but none of them seem to get all of it right either.I wonder is there a dictionary for Aussie phrases? Would be cool
