Questions & Answers about shuōhǎole, wǒmen píngtān zhèxiē qián.

What does 说好了 mean here? Does it literally mean spoke well?

No. 说好了 is a very common expression meaning to have agreed on something after discussing it.

• 说 = to speak, say
• 好 here does not mean simply good
• 说好 together means to talk something over and settle it

So 说好了 at the start of the sentence means something like:

• We agreed,
• It’s settled that...
• As agreed, ...

It does not mean spoke well in this sentence.

Why is 好 used after 说?

Here 好 is a result complement. It shows that the action reaches a successful or completed result.

So:

• 说 = to talk
• 说好 = to talk something through and come to an agreement

This pattern is very common in Mandarin:

• 想好 = think something through and decide
• 准备好 = get something ready
• 做好 = do something well / finish doing it properly

So in 说好, the idea is not just speaking, but speaking until the agreement is settled.
