A1 Expression ニュートラル

Claro!

Of course! / Sure!

意味

Expresses agreement or certainty.

🌍

文化的背景

Brazilians often use 'Claro' with a very melodic, rising and falling intonation to show extra friendliness. It's often paired with 'Com certeza' for maximum warmth. In Portugal, you will frequently hear 'Pois claro'. The word 'Pois' acts as a filler that makes the agreement sound more thoughtful or confirming of what was already said. In Luanda, 'Claro' is used just as in Brazil, but you might also hear 'Está claro' (It is clear) used more frequently in semi-formal speech to mean 'Obviously'. Usage is similar to Portugal, but 'Claro' is often used to bridge gaps in long stories, showing the listener is still engaged.

🎯

The 'Smile' Rule

Always say 'Claro!' with a slight smile. Because it means 'Of course', saying it with a flat face can sometimes sound sarcastic.

⚠️

Avoid 'De Curso'

Never translate 'Of course' literally. It's the #1 giveaway that you're a beginner using a translator.
