Hey everyone! Welcome to this Bizmates
Words and Phrases video series and
today's idiom is "come and go as you please."
It's a nice natural phrase, a little bit
longer than our usual words and phrases
but that's okay
very natural, okay? So let's find out what
this means. So let's imagine that my
colleague, Taro is inviting me to an
event. He says "Hika, why don't you come to
this event in in Tokyo?" And it's my first
time to attend this kind of event, so I'm a
little bit nervous, so I don't know if I
can just stay for ten minutes and leave
or I have to stay for the whole
time. You know, is it casual?
So I asked Taro, I say: Well, Taro, do I have to stay
for the whole event -- the whole two hours?
And he says: No, you can go out and
return, well, anytime. It's very casual.
OK, I can understand his sentence.
You can go out, you know make a phone call,
smoke a cigarette, come back... whatever.
You, know you can go out and return. But a more
natural way to say this is like this... so
I say: Taro, do I have to stay for the
whole event? And he says:
Come and go as you please.
Very natural! Come -- you know, come to the
event -- or just go leave the event
whenever you want -- as you please. Come and
go as you please. Very natural. OK let's
look at pronunciation, come and go as you please.
OK, let's try this. Come and go as you
please. you try.
Perfect. One more time
with my question: Do I have to stay for
the whole event?
OK, I could just come and go as I please.
Great. OK, perfect! I actually heard this
phrase used just the other day.
Justin, Kyota and I,
the three of us, we attended an event in
Roppongi and it was my first time to
attend. So I asked Justin I said "Justin,
do I have to stay for the whole time?" And
he said "no, come and go as you please, Hika."
OK, so I hope you have a chance to
use this as well, okay? So for homework
next time someone says "hey, do I have to
stay for the whole event?" Don't say this...
You can say this... "come and go as you
please." OK, please remember this and
we'll see you next time. Thank you.
