I just know it!

I just know it!

0
votes

I am trying to convey that I am really, really hopeful of something happening. For example, "We are going to finally win the championship this year - I just know it!". How do say that? I am really focused on the word "just" and the Spanish equivalent. (I know the rest: "¡Lo sé!"). "Acabo de saber" is what is given in the translation here, but I think that is closer to "I just now know it/learned it".

I understand that the Spanish equivalent may not even use a variation of "just" as is used in the English.

Any help, as always, is appreciated.

That kind of sentiment is often conveyed by the word "ya", which means many, many things.

If for some reason you don't like "¡Ya lo sé!", you could try "¡Sólo lo sé!".

I did and got an incorrect answer "acabo de saber." Can't always trust the translator - but can always trust the people here to clarify! - DR1960, Nov 11, 2010

"Secillamente lo sé" is the only option I can think of right now.
