Cultural Tip
In Spanish‑speaking workplaces, *sí* is a straightforward affirmation, but adding *claro* or *por supuesto* can sound more enthusiastic. Keep in mind that the pronoun *los* must match the gender and number of the noun it replaces; if you were referring to feminine items, you would say *subirlas*.
