How to say, "I got it"

Ex: My friend drops something and I say "I got it" Ex: My friend is going to pay the tip then I tell him, "I got it"

I asked my mom and this is the way she says it,"Yo logado" She grew up speaking spanish in the US,could that be slang?

As caiser said, yo lo pago is a good choice and it would be: I (will) pay for it. And as ian pointed out, it is very difficult to interpret and there's not a direct translation - lo tengo would sound weird in that context.

My guess for your specific context: Yo me encargo. - (I take care of it / I see to it).

I got it has very meanings according The circumstance, but always involves you doing something for somebody: In the example Of the tip, "I got it" means that you will pay the tip, and can be translated as "yo la pago " If someone is baking a cake, and has to go somewhere, when you say I got it, means, "yo lo apago, vigilo" means that you will turn off the oven, you will watch that the cake doesn't burn. When you explain something several times to someone, and they finally got it/understand it, Is translated as: "ya entendí or "ya lo entiendi" both are acceptable.

I got it - is in the past tense. I have got it / I have it (present tense) = Lo tengo

The verb "get" is very difficult to "interpret" into Spanish.

Have a look here to see why

Eso es slang o una mala pronunciación. En ese contesto es "Yo lo pago"

I came to this question as well and do think the following: If you want to say, that you finally understand something, you'd maybe easily say: "Ah, entiendo/comprendo". If you'd like to furthermore express, that you agree to the person you're talking to, you'd rather say: "de acuerdo" which is like "agreed" and similar to the french "d'accord". I'm not an expert in none of these languages, I'm actually german and just curious in speaking and understanding languages. Would be nice, if someone could verify what I have guessed and suggested here.

Your answer is correct, and the example Of "de acuerdo" was great, congratulation. - EleRo, May 17, 2016

For the I will do it form of "I got it". There is an expression Dicho y hecho. You might take from that and respond with nothing more than Hecho.

Will you finish the laundry? Hecho.

Someone reaches for the bill. Say, "Hecho" or "Es mio." and grab the bill.

The point is as EleRo states, as in many translations the circumstances dictate.
