alt text, Polyglot1day:

I looked at "come" and at "in" in the dictionary and I entered "come in" in the translator. Those searches yielded less than best results.

As I understand it:

Come in = ¡Adelante!, ¡Pase!, ¡Entre! [I'm not sure I like ¡entre!] or ¡Siga! (in Latin America)

I do not know if you need to use "Por favor" with any of these phrases. I know that in English I probably would not add the polite "please" but I would just say 'come in" or "enter" in a friendly manner.

 

Muchos saludos/Best regards

"Entre por favor" is the right way, unless you want it to sound like and order. - 00e657d4, Jan 13, 2011
It would not be heard an impolite "order" if, as I suggested, it is said in a friendly manner. - Moe, Jan 13, 2011

Entre in usual in Colombia.

I'm sure I remember 'pase en adelante' in Guatemala, Lake Atitlán.

"Entre, nada más"

"Just come in" in Bolivia.

"Venga por favor adentro" is from the translator. But at least in México the common usage is:

"Por favor, pasa" or "pasa, por favor" in a familiar context.

"Entre por favor" or "por favor entre" would more formal.

I've heard "¡Adelante!" used a lot in Mexico. I cannot recall it being used with a "por favor" (please). The friendliness is reflected in the tone of the speaker.
