In Italy we say "Ma dai?" when we're surprised about something. There is a synonymous of this expression, it's "Davvero?". It means Really?
- Italian
Può avere significati diversi come 'ma dai' = perché l hai fatto! O ma dai come se sei sorpresa potrebbe somigliare a ma non mi dire
- Italian
they say "but come on" when someone tells or tells something incredible, unexpected, uncommon
examples:
- Today I meet the woman of my life! -> Ma dai!
- I drove from Rome to Milan without ever stopping -> Ma dai!
Of course it is not the only expression used on such occasions. They go well too -> davvero? dici sul serio?
