Today, let’s look at ‘I got it’!

q Q: What does ‘I got it‘ mean?

  A: I got it‘ usually means ‘I understand‘. In this case ‘get‘ means understand
  

 You can also say:

  • I got you
  • I got what you mean
  • I don’t get you
  • I don’t get what you mean
  • I gotcha
  • gotcha

 

    Example 1:   A: I don’t understand why people in Australia say G’day.   B: G’day means ‘hello’. It is short for ‘good day’.

   A: Oh! I get it! Thanks!

   Example 2:

   A: What should I do today?

   B: Well, in the morning you need to go to the bank and in the afternoon you have a meeting at 2pm.

   A: The bank and a meeting. Got it.

  Example 3: 
  A:
What should I bring to the beach next Sunday?

   B: You need a hat, sunscreen and a towel.

   A: Gotcha!

Note that ‘I got it’ is different to ‘I have got it‘, which means ‘I have it‘.
