Can I use "Here you are." when I give a way?
Hi, there.

Can I use "Here you are." when I give a way?
For example, When I'm about to go through the door, another guy also want to go through the door from the opposite side.
So I say "Here you are." and let him pass the door first. Is it correct usage?

Thanks in advance.

Answer

Actually, I am not sure I would naturally say that.  I might say "after you" or "go ahead."

Answer

When you are giving someone the direction of how to get somewhere:
You can start with, "You are here." And then proceed to tell someone how to go somewhere.

If you are approaching a doorway at the same time, you could say, "After you." And motion with your hands and body that you are giving them space to pass first.

"Here you are." is generally for giving something to someone.

Answer

It basically means "this is for you" or "here, have this" so I think that yea. you can.
