How to Say ‘Welcome to come’ in Traditional Chinese

歡迎你來

huān yíng nǐ lái

[hwan-ying nee lie]

💬 Usage Tip: [歡迎] can be followed directly by a person and a verb: [歡迎你來], "welcome to come." You can swap the verb: [歡迎你常來] "you're welcome to come often."

🇹🇼 In Taiwan: As a host line, [歡迎你來] is friendly and natural, but many Taiwanese speakers would make it sound warmer with [歡迎你來坐] or [歡迎常來]. With in-laws, that warmer version often feels more personal.
