If I say "Ja klar", What are the different meanings expressed by this expression?
I think that there are three main meanings for this expression.
- First and more literal one is one you want to say that you agree with what the other people just said.
- When you want to say that what the other people said is obvious and unnecessary.
- In a sarcastic way when you want to say what the other people said is just no sense.
The meanings are quite the same as of its verbatim translation
Yes, of course.
As in English, it depends on the context if it should be interpreted literally or ironic. And as in English, if you hear this answer, there are situations where you can't be shure if it is meant literally or ironic.
It means "But of course..." and then the speaker says more on the subject. It is usually in response to a question requiring a confirmation.
