English Language & Usage Asked by mike-shtil on September 5, 2021
To signify someone’s presence is tolerated (or event enjoyed), you may use "welcome", as in "you are welcome".
Contrary, you can be in situations where it’s ok for someone to leave, without offending the host.
Example: a meeting turns to a subject which may be boring to some parties. I don’t mind them staying, but want to signal they’re ‘welcome to leave’ with no hard feelings.
you could say -
please feel free to leave if the current subject does not interest you.
feel free:
If someone tells you to feel free to do something, they mean that you can do it if you want to.
