✕Common Mistakes
Sì, la facciamo.
Use “lo” for masculine objects; “la” is feminine.
Si, lo facciamo.
“Si” (without accent) is a reflexive pronoun, not the affirmative “yes.”
Sì, lo facciamo.
If only one person is speaking, the verb should be “faccio.”

Cultural Tip
In everyday Italian conversation, confirming a plan with “Sì, lo facciamo” is very natural. The pronoun must match the gender of the thing you’re referring to, so pay attention to whether the object is masculine (lo) or feminine (la). Italians also love the short, friendly “Facciamo così” (Let’s do it this way) as an alternative way to move a discussion forward.
