Usar

Your child is calling for you. You hear him from another room. As you are making your way to your child, you call out, —¡Ya voy!

The family is waiting for you in the car and calling out, “Mom! Come on!” You are grabbing one last thing. You respond with —¡Ya voy!

Another similar and helpful pharase you may see or hear is —Ya me voy, which means ‘I am leaving.’

Gramática

Voy and va are conjugations of the verb ‘ir,’ which means ‘to go.’

Ir = to go

VoyI go
vas — you go
va he/she goes
vamos
we go
vaís
you go
van
they go

Why not use ‘venir’ which means ‘to come’? When you hear the phrase “ya vengo” it means I am coming right back. You have to change your way of thinking about the translation for this phrase. “ya voy” could be translated as “I go now (to where you are).”

ya = already; now; soon

In the phrase ‘ya voy’, ‘ya means ‘now.’
