Cultural Tip

In Brazil, saying that something is "pronto" often implies it is clean, ironed, or otherwise prepared for use. The order "também já" stresses that the readiness of the clothes is an addition to other things that are already done. Native speakers may also drop "também" if the context already makes the addition clear.
