i am down for...

[elizabeth1]

When a person says, "I am down for this movie" what exactly does it mean?

 

[mykwyner]

It usually means, "I am ready to enjoy..."

 

[Delmobile]

It means they agree to go, that they're in the mood to do it.

"If you want to go to a movie I'm down with that, as long as it's not one of those stupid chick flicks."

can I say:

"Transformers? I'm down to go."

 

[Ouisch]

can I say:

"Transformers? I'm down to go."

More properly, you'd say "Transformers? I'm down for that."

If you want to use "to go", you'd say something like "Transformers? Sure, just let me change my clothes and grab my wallet and I'm good to go."

"Who's going to watch Transformers with me?"
"Transformers? I'm down for that. "
"Me too, let me just grab my wallet and I'm good to go."

It is more usually "down with." I think "down for" is just a variation.

We put our names down for things in the US too. But when it's your turn to do something, we say, "You're up, John."

"His number was up" is also said about death:

"Twelve hours after his dramatic rescue from the burning wreckage of a plane crash, Fred Smith was killed while crossing the street to mail a letter."

"Wow. I guess his number was up."

Alex - please post using proper English grammar and syntax. It is very difficult to read text speak and not helpful in a forum devoted to improving the use of English. You will receive more response if people understand what you are typing.
