Today we’re going to learn a useful little phrase that’s very slangy and will help you sound more like a native.

Pronto falei literally means there, I said it, as a follow up to some sort of controversial comment. Let’s look at how it’s used in conversation:

Ele ficou muito gordo. Pronto, falei. He got really fat. There, I said it.

Na verdade, ela não gosta muito de você. Pronto, falei. Actually, she doesn’t really like you. There, I said it.

A casa da sua tia tem um cheiro esquisito. Pronto, falei. Your aunt’s house smells funny. There, I said it.

Seu irmão não joga muito bem. Pronto, falei. Your brother doesn’t play that well. There, I said it.

Can you give an example?
