料到

• Pinyin: liào dào
• Desglose de hanzi: 料 = 米 + 斗 (grain measured with a ladle — estimate/foresee); 到 = 至 + 刂 (arrive/reach — getting to the mark)

Significado

prever; anticipar; haber esperado de antemano

Used when someone successfully predicted an outcome — often with a tone of having been right all along. Frequently appears in constructions like 没料到 (didn't expect) or 早就料到 (had long anticipated). Can imply both positive foresight and the unpleasant surprise of an unwanted prediction coming true. Common in narrative and analytical writing.
