"Ci sto!" — Count me in!

Ecco un'altra espressione that we use a lot: "Ci sto!" 🙋🏻‍♀️🍕☕️

What about this one?

Literally translated, "Ci sto" means "I stay there." But for the sake of my poor husband’s sanity (and yours!), what it actually means in everyday Italian is: "I’m in!" or "Count me in!" 🙌🏼

Here’s how to use it like a true native:

👉 "Vieni all’aperitivo questa sera?" → "Ci sto!"
(Are you coming for drinks tonight? I’m in!)

👉 "Are we grabbing a pizza later?" → "Ci sto!"

👉 "What about gelato?" → "Ci sto!"

👉 "Caffè?" → "Ci sto!"

👉 "sabato 19 settembre alla festa al Leaping Salmon?" → "Ci sto!" "Ci sto!" "Ci sto!"

You’ve probably caught this phrase in Italian movies or series (even if you were relying on the subtitles 😉).

So, next time someone suggests something fun, don't just say sì—hit them with an enthusiastic "Ci sto!" 🇮🇹
