@sanders40 "I know that already." or "yeah, I assumed that." It means something was clear or obvious from the beginning
-Your best friend is in love with you.
-Yeah, I figured
"figure" here means that you calculate a situation, or imagined the outcome of something.
"He figured it would be better to take the stairs."

Oh, I see thank you. Then can I say "Yeah, I knew that"? It has the same meaning?

@youjustreadmyname I don’t think it means “I know that already.” It means you assumed or supposed something was true, not that you definitively knew it to be true

@rtizisland I think it can mean both honestly. But it's good to add that nuance that I certainly missed

@rtizisland I'd say I agree with you that the literal meaning is only what you said. However, in usage, I think it can be used for both. Thanks for adding to the answer. It's important :)
