Un po' io.
oon poh EE-oh
A little, me.
💬 [Un po'] means "a little," and the apostrophe shows it comes from [poco]. You'll hear it everywhere: [un po' stanco], [un po' tardi], [solo un po'].
🇮🇹 [Un po' io] is a playful, self-confident comeback here, not a neutral textbook answer. In flirting, that kind of light self-praise can sound charming if the tone stays joking.
