Dear native speakers,
I would like to know what polite expressions English use when one wishes to let someone enter somewhere first (let's fancy that two persons are arriving at the same time at the same place and can't enter together)?
Can I say "please go first" (that sounds unnatural to me) or just "please (go ahead)" or just "please" with a gesture or "after you" or something different?
Thank you
Guillaume
