In a informal setting or so you can use either expression.It will be understood either way,but I hear it more as yeah can do.It's just a short way of saying Hey let's go for it ..Sure hey why not....I'm up for that....

“could do” isn’t really something people say. “can do” sounds more like something you would say at work, like if a customer asked you to get them something. it’s not a very common phrase. if someone asked me “shall we go grab some food?” i would say something like “yeah, i’m down” or “yeah sure” or “sure, sounds good”

@rtizisland My friend actually replied "Could do" to my suggestion so I was a bit confused if she isn't that keen on it😂" Thank you anyway:)

@sshh0519 oh, sorry haha
i guess it must be something people say in other english-speaking countries besides the US. i think it kind of sounds like she isn’t interested in going though 😣
