A lot of languages are pro-drop and do this when the context is clear (and sometimes when it isn’t). I remember learning Japanese and people saying “we would never do that in English!”. My counterexample was always that, if someone came to my house and asked where the beer is, I’d say “fridge.” because that’s all the information the hearer needs.
