How to use it
- Use got it as a fixed expression, without changing the character order.
- Placement: place got it at the beginning of the sentence or in an incision, just before the idea you comment on.
- Context: use this formula to introduce an opinion, reaction, or transition in a conversation.
- Start by memorizing the global sense, then reuse the formula in complete sentences.
- Start with a model sentence (In spoken language, often hear the phrase “got it”), then replace only the context (subject, time, situation).

- Avoid word-for-word translation and learn the global sense in context first.
- Reuse the formula in a complete sentence, not as a single word.
