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

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

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.

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