✕Common Mistakes

  • Kommen Sie rein und entspannen Sie sich.

    Mixing formal ‘Sie’ with the informal imperative ‘entspann dich’ is inconsistent.

  • Komm rein einfach und entspann dich.

    Placing ‘einfach’ after the verb changes the nuance; it should precede the verb to mean ‘just’.

  • Komm einfach herein und entspann dich.

    In formal contexts ‘rein’ sounds too casual; use ‘herein’ instead.

↔Alternatives

  • Komm herein und mach es dir gemütlich.

    Come in and make yourself comfortable.

  • Tritt ein, setz dich und entspann dich.

    Step in, sit down and relax.

  • Komm rein, setz dich und lass die Seele baumeln.

Cultural Tip

In German the informal ‘du’ form is used with friends, family, and peers. The imperative without ‘du’ (e.g., ‘Komm!’) sounds natural and friendly. ‘Rein’ is colloquial; in a formal setting you’d say ‘Kommen Sie herein’. Also, remember that reflexive verbs like ‘entspannen’ require the reflexive pronoun (dich, sich, etc.) matching the subject.
