Idiomatic expression 'everything is on the house'

Question

Since I have started my Spanish recently, I feel not that strong so far , but nevertheless I'd like to invite my Spanish mate and offer him some drinks&snacks;. In Engish I'd use idiomatic expression 'everything is on the house', so is there any expression in Spanish, if not - how can I encourage him to feel free in other words. Thanks

Answer 1

I believe you can use

Invita la casa.

That is what WordReference.com's dictionary says. - 0074b507, Apr 13, 2011

Hi and welcome to the forum.

In my experience, when you say "Vamos a cenar (de copas)....te invito" it means that you are paying. In English, I'd say "Let's go out....it's on me."

Oh, come on. How often do you say that? You let the poor sap... er... guy pay. - 0074b507, Apr 13, 2011

Answer 3

Mi casa es tu casa. My house is your house.

Answer 4

Everything is on the house is saying everything is free, like you are a café owner

Answer 5

When inviting him, I'd use "yo invito". Example: "Vienes a tomar unas copas? Yo invito"

Answer 6

I wouldn't use "on the house" in English except to describe a business not charging for something--are you inviting him to a restaurant you own?
