The Arabic word تفضّل tafaDDal is a commonly-used and highly-versatile expression.

Depending on context, it:

1. Expresses an invitation to do something 2. Expresses approval/giving permission of a planned action 3. Is used when letting someone else pass first (e.g. through a door) 4. Is used when presenting or handing over something
