I am paying

Hello everyone,


My question is about how to say in colloquial English “ pago por ti” when you are reunited with some friends. I have been hearing different ways to say it in movies , from people etc…. However I am not sure whether all of them are correct or I remember them

Could anyone indicate which of the following ones are used? Please feel free to add new ones to the threat if you know more way to say the same as I want to broaden my poor vocabulary

  • I am paying the drink for you
  • I am getting you bro
  • I got you bro
  • The drink is on me
  • I am getting this one
  • I get this one
  • I got this one

Many thanks in advance

Ungrammatical. You can say "I'm paying for your drink" or "I'll pay for your drink".

I got you bro.
These are very casual slang, if correct at all. Only certain types of people would use this kind of language. I don't
