How to Say “I Know, Right?” in Italian

lo so, vero?
The English phrase "I know, right?" is translated into Italian as lo so, vero?
This is an informal expression used to show agreement with another person and to emphasize that you share their opinion.

Did you know?

  • In very casual speech, Italians often replace lo so, vero? with the single word già, which literally means 'already' but functions as a way to say 'I know' or 'exactly'.
  • If an Italian speaker wants to emphasize 'I know, right!' even more strongly, they might say Ma infatti!, which literally translates to 'But in fact!'
  • In casual Roman speech, instead of lo so, vero?, one might hear people use 'ma dai!' to express a similar sense of 'I know, right?' or 'come on!'
