Another excellent word, Gotcha. Is it used only in American English?
Thanks! Gotcha is more of “how something is pronounced” here in the USA than a word.
Congrats, Michael. Another great lesson! And a very useful one; contents that we seldom find in books. // At the end of the recording you said "lessons 334" where you should've said "344", right?
Hi Joāo.. Thanks for the kind words. Wow, I make typos in my speaking too LOL!
Just remembered Chris Tucker in Rush Hour when he said to Jackie Chan: 'Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth? 😀
I think Gotcha can only be used in specific situations, and not with all people. I don't think I can say it to my boss. 😀
Here's another situation. In the first episode of the show Prison Break, Michael Scofield says to the officer in the prison: Gotcha. And the officer got pissed off as a result to that. And then there was the following dialogue between them:
Captain Brad Bellick: You talking out the side of your neck?
Michael Scofield: Come again?
Captain Brad Bellick: I said, are you being a smart ass?
Michael Scofield: I'm just trying to fly low, avoid the radar Boss. Do my time, and get out.
Captain Brad Bellick: There isn't any flying under my radar.
Michael Scofield: Good to know.
Mohamed, Yes…In a formal situation..like talking to a police officer or a judge in court, I would not use "gotcha."
Michael DiGiacomo Gotcha! 😀
