Post subject: Here you go |
|
|
When I was first taught English 15 years ago my teacher told me:
Here you are.
However, later on I discovered that you use:
Here you go,
There you are
There you go
Which one is the most popular?
Is there any by the way?
Is there any difference among them for you?
Regards,
Paweł from Warsaw,
Poland

It means the same as the phrases you posted! Roughly. Or sometimes it |
means something like the Yiddish "Oy!", though "Ey up" is a more
versatile equivalent of some senses of that. But it's mostly used in
Lancashire and Y***shire, and pronounced "nathen".
All the phrases you posted are absolutely interchangeable.

It depends to an extent on how it is said.
It is often used as a general warning but particularly when
someone is about to go beyond the bounds of acceptable
behaviour.
It can also mean something like:
"OK, I have dealt with the previous thing and am ready to move
on to the next item on my TO DO list." It's the sort of thing a
shopkeeper might say to indicate that he is ready for the next
customer. |
