Karen from Mishawka
I have a question: if I say "Ja, gerne" could I also say "Ja, bitte" and have the same meaning?
Okay Karen, thanks for this interesting question.
The answer is: yes.
If somebody is offering you coffe than both answers will fill your cup.
“Nimmst Du noch etwas Kaffee?”
„Ja, gerne / bitte“ or you could just say „gerne“ or „bitte“. All the same.
If you go into a shop and somebody is offering you help:
“Guten Tag, kann ich Ihnen helfen?”
Again, you can say any of the above and will receive help.
Hope that answers your question.
