Desde luego
Sé que desde luego significa certainly, pero no lo oigo mucho.
¿Se puede usar desde luego en lugar de vale, o de acuerdo, o sí claro, OK, bueno, como no, etc?

Gracias.

Poli

You can use desde luego meaning all the things you said, but it's probably more formal.
¿Puedo usar tu boli?
Desde luego.
¿ Vas a ir a ese restaurante a comer pimientos con Poli?
Desde luego.
Anyway as you said, the meaning is closer to por supuesto (certainly)

Thank you María José. That is a prime example of a phrase that doesn't translate directly

If you want to be more emphatic, you can say ¡Desde luego que claro que por supuesto que sí!

Pero también si quieres vacilar, puedes usar lo que escribí. Está perfectamente bien ¿no?
