There is no consistent way to say "OK" in Arabic and most people use whatever word means "good" in their dialect.

The Proper Arabic term (usually seen in subtitles for English-language movies) for "OK" is hasanan (حسناً). However, saying this in day-to-day exchanges will sound slightly pompous since it is an exclusively Proper Arabic word. (It would be the same way that saying "farewell" instead of "bye" to your friends would sound slightly pompous.)

In Egyptian Arabic, the term usually used is koyyes (كيّس). As Egyptian Arabic becomes more popular across the Arabic world, this term is becoming more popular.

In Levantine Arabic, the term usually used is mlih (مليح).

In Iraqi Arabic, the term usually used is zayn (زين).

In Moroccan Arabic, the term usually used is mezyan (مزيان).
