意思
An invitation to enter a place.
文化背景
In France, it is considered polite to wait for a clear 'Entrez !' before opening a closed door, especially in professional or private settings. Barging in is a major social error. Quebecers are generally more informal than the French, but 'Entrez' remains the standard for strangers. You might hear 'Entrez-donc' with a very welcoming, rising intonation. Hospitality (Teranga in Senegal) is paramount. 'Entrez' is often followed by immediate offers of water or tea. The invitation is usually very enthusiastic. Similar to France, but in some regions, you might hear 'Passez dedans' as a regional variation, though 'Entrez' is universally understood and used.
The 'Donc' Trick
Add 'donc' (Entrez donc !) to sound like a native speaker who is genuinely happy to see their guest.
Silent Z
Never pronounce the 'z' at the end of 'Entrez' unless there is a liaison. It's 'Ahn-tray', not 'Ahn-trezz'.

Wait for the knock
In France, saying 'Entrez' before someone knocks is considered psychic or a bit weird. Wait for the signal!

常见问题
10 个问题Yes, if you are being formal (using 'vous'). If it's a friend, say 'Entre'.
No, it's the standard polite way to invite someone in. However, your tone of voice matters!
You can still say 'Entrez !' or 'Je vous en prie, entrez' to encourage them to cross the threshold.
'Entrez donc' is warmer and more inviting, whereas 'Entrez' is more neutral or functional.
Usually, the host will say 'Par ici, s'il vous plaît' (This way, please) rather than 'Entrez', as you are already inside the building.
Yes! You can use 'Entre' or 'Entrez' with pets, though 'Viens ici' (Come here) is more common.
If you name the place, use 'dans' (Entrez dans la cuisine). If you just want them to come in, just say 'Entrez !'.
It's shorthand for 'You may enter the building now that I've buzzed you in.'
Not really. In an email, you'd say 'Je vous invite à venir' or 'Vous pouvez passer à mon bureau'.
The opposite is 'Sortez !' (Get out!).
