Meaning of "Claro"

Question

This may be a 'clearly' simplistic question. I watch the talk show "Escándalo T.V." frequently, in which the hosts use "Claro" frequently at stopping points. (Especially Charytín) I know the dictionary meaning of the word, but it seem like it is used as all right, O.K., or well. Am I imagining things'

Answer 1

Muchas gracias.

Answer 2

It is correct.

Answer 3

Gracias Lynda, your answer also fit well.

Answer 4

Hi there
it can also mean "for sure".

Answer 5

Learn something (many things) every day. Is it still correct to say 'Soy húngaro de Budapest'? Please, correct my misconceptions.

Answer 6

No, it is "magyar" in English, but it is "magiar" in Spanish. Note that I wrote "magiar-español" and not "Magyar-Spanish".

Answer 7

Do not need one, I forgot Hungarian and never really mastered English. I frequently have to use on-line Hungarian-English dictionary when I call my sister in Hungary.

By the way, it is magyar.

Answer 8

No need to apologize. I was just going to give you some advice on what dictionaries to use, but I don't know any good magiar-español one.

Answer 9

I am sorry, must be my Hungarian showing. I used WordReference.com, and it definitely has 'claro' defined. Just my mangling of English language misled you.

Answer 10

I don't know the program (I don't watch much TV anyway), but:

Claro = agreed / true
¡Claro! = of course!

The Spanish dictionary says (translating it): "Interjection used to say that something is certain or assure whatever it is said".

By the way, what dictionary are you using that doesn't mention this use of the word'
