-->

Pronto means ready, immediately, prepared, fit, quickly etc. but, have you tried to call to an italian family? What did they say,  pronto!? Weel, it seems funny, but pronto can be have value of interjection and we use it every time that we answer the telephone.

“Pronto chi parla?”
“Buongiorno, sono Giorgio c’è Mario?
or
“Pronto!”
“Pronto sono il Dr. Martini, c’è l’avvocato?”
