Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In Italian, pronto is commonly used to indicate that something or someone is ready or prepared for a specific task or situation. For example, if you are waiting for your friend to arrive and they call you to say they are outside, you can reply 'sono pronto' which means 'I am ready' to go outside and meet them.
The word pronto can also be used in emergency situations to indicate that help is needed immediately. In this context, it is often used as an interjection to grab someone's attention and ask for assistance. For instance, if you witness a car accident and need to call for help, you might shout 'pronto!' into your phone to get the operator's attention.
Additionally, the word pronto has been adopted by many other languages, including English, where it is often used as an adverb meaning quickly or without delay. This usage likely originated from the emergency connotation of the word in Italian.
