You can use this fun and common phrase whenever you are trying to motivate someone. Telling someone "you got this" is a way of telling her that she can do it. This phrase can be used in pretty much any context, whether someone is competing in a sport, taking a test, or trying something new. Here are some examples: Ex: You are the best swimmer I know. You will be great at this meet. You got this! Ex: You got this! You will ace that test! A: I don't know if I can do this. I have never been on a plane before. B: I'm right here with you. It's going to be okay. You got this! Thanks for the great question! It's always fun to discuss English expressions!
