That'd do me

[englishhobby]

Is there an idiomatic expression 'That'd do me' in English (meaning 'I would be satisfied with it")?
I've come across this: A small chalet in the Alps — that’d do me.

Yes, we use that. We might also say "That'll do me" there.

That'll do me.
That'd do me.

They're a bit different in meaning (distance), since the latter is conditional. Both phrases could well have the word 'fine' at the end, to reinforce the sense of being satisfied.

Did you mean the addition of the word "fine" after "me", or instead of "me"?

Be aware that 'that'll do' can mean many things. If you omit the "me" it can mean "That's enough of that behaviour [for example: "If you carry on like that, someone's going to get hurt"]. Or a teacher might use it to mean "All right. Game over. Settle down". (If you saw the film Babe you may have noticed that the farmer said "That'll do" to express satisfaction with a job well done.

After.

After.

Interesting. I might say "That'd/That'll do fine" but I don't think I've ever said "That'd/That'll do me fine".

There's an esoteric reference to this here in the animated series Archer, which is known for its meta and oblique references.
