A1 Expression 非正式

Pasa, por favor.

Come in, please.

意思

A polite invitation for someone to enter.

🌍

文化背景

In Spain, it is common to repeat the word for emphasis: 'Pasa, pasa'. It makes the invitation feel more insistent and warm. Mexicans often use 'Pásale' or 'Pásale, marchante' (in markets). The 'le' doesn't have a grammatical object; it's a 'leísmo' of courtesy that softens the command. In Argentina, due to 'voseo', the stress changes to 'Pasá' (with an accent on the last 'a').

🎯

The Hand Gesture

Always accompany 'Pasa, por favor' with an open-palm gesture toward the interior. It's culturally expected.

⚠️

The 'Usted' Rule

If you are in a shop or office, always default to 'Pase' unless the other person is much younger than you.
