    Is it just to swedes “pronto” sounds like it would mean “hurry up”? Or is that everyone?

      Ive always heard it to mean “hurry up” or “be quick” too.

      … I am 1/4 swedish though so I dunno?

      Vad har det med Sverige att göra? As a Spanish speaker, that’s just one its meanings in Spanish.

        Oh, maybe thats where I’m getting it from then. I know other swedes who have reacted that way to hearing an italian answering the phone.

      In Italian it just means “ready”, but in English is used in a completely different way. Probably Sweden got the usage from English
