Provençal expression

M'as coumprés !

Character

Literal translation

You have understood me!

Meaning

you've understood me

Explanation

Used to leave something unsaid while still making it understood, relying on an assumed complicity with the listener. It usually comes with a drawn-out, rising intonation, often a wink. The phrase keeps its Provençal form even in regional French, where it signals a stronger complicity than the plain you understand me.
