Sim, vou.
Yes, I am.
Language note: Nice natural confirmation. You can also say “Sim, vou sim” for extra emphasis.
Culture note: Repeating the verb after “sim” is very common in Portuguese and sounds more natural than a plain “Sim.”
Context: To sound natural, you combine both ideas in one sentence.
