Contexte culturel

In Spain, people are often more direct. You might just hear '¿Listo?' shouted from another room. The word 'listo' is also used to mean 'clever' with the verb 'ser'. Mexicans might use '¿Ya quedó?' to ask if a task is ready. Punctuality varies, so '¿Estás listo?' is often met with 'ahorita', which can mean anything from 'now' to 'never'.
