  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.

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