"Guess what?" is an exclamation that is used to introduce surprising or exciting information. It is usually followed by a statement or question that the speaker is eager to share. In this case, "Guess what!" can be interpreted as either:
1. "Guess what I am going to say!" - The speaker wants the listener to try and predict what their next statement or question will be. It is an invitation for the listener to think and make a guess.
2. "Guess what I will say!" - The speaker wants the listener to anticipate and prepare themselves for something surprising or exciting that the speaker is about to reveal. The listener is not expected to actually guess the precise content of the speaker's statement, but rather to be prepared for something interesting.
Both interpretations essentially convey the same idea of anticipation and excitement. The specific meaning of "Guess what!" can vary based on the context and the speaker's intention.
