sgamare

French translation: piger

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Italian term or phrase:sgamare
French translation:piger

Italian term or phrase: sgamare
"Ma poi con un'espressione di rivincita trionfante mi dice che lui pure sgama, sgama tutto."

La phrase est tirée de la conversazione d'un adolescent.
Le sens est bien évidemment qu'il "voit, comprend, s'aperçoit de tout".

Je pourrais traduire par "voit, comprendre", mais je voudrais trouver une expression plus colloquiale, pour garder le meme registre linguistique. J'ai trouvé "pincer" mais je ne crois pas qu'il est appropiré dans ce cas, car le sujet n'a pas surpris une personne en train de faire quelque chose de suspect, d'interdit etc.

Est-ce-qu'il y a des collègues français qui pourraient m'aider?
Merci en avance
