I'M COMING: meaning and examples

Good morning.

How would you translate the following dialogue?

Example 1 (Spanish):
Matthew: David. Necesito que me ayudes con los platos.
David: ¡Voy!

In spoken English in this context, the Spanish word "voy" is translated as I'm coming. So, the dialogue would be translated in the following way.

Example 1 (English):
Matthew: David. I need you to help me with the dishes.
David: I'm coming!

David's answer indicates that he is on his way (see yesterday's Daily Vitamin).

Example 2:
Nancy: Honey...where are you?
Ana: I'm coming mum. I'll be there in fifteen seconds.

Tomorrow we will look at a related expression. If you have any questions about today's Daily Vitamin, please post them in the Daily Vitamin Plus! forum section on our website (www.ziggurat.es).

Enjoy the rest of your day.
