What does YA govoryu na mean in English?

"YA govoryu na" in English means "I told you so."

It's a phrase used to emphasize that you were right about something, often with a touch of smugness.

Breakdown:

* YA: This is short for "You," but used in a less formal and more emphatic way.

* govoryu: This is the verb "to speak" in the past tense.

* na: This is a particle that emphasizes the speaker's certainty.

So, the whole phrase translates to "I told you, didn't I?" or "See, I was right."
