(Arabic native speaker here). The Arabic writing is both اوك and اوكي. In my communications with others I have seen people mostly use اوك in most contexts, and only اوكي with a similar connotation to "okie". Obviously this differs from country to country but the page should include both mainstream versions. Adhami3310 (talk) 22:33, 30 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've added it, but note that the description of Arabic is marked as lacking a source. I've added it because I think it could help find sources, but anything about Arabic could be removed one day if that never happens. If you know about any published sources describing use of okay (even if the source is in Arabic), you're very welcome to share. --//Replayful (talk | contribs) 08:07, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

OK in Portuguese

In Portuguese there there is not only OK and oquei, but there is also a variation: okapa, that refers to the name of the word K in Portuguese that is kapa — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nunium (talk • contribs) 17:31, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have a good source saying that? Such as a dictionary or linguistic description. //Replayful (talk | contribs) 18:49, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
