What is the meaning of ‘if you want to kill yourself, be my guest’?
Thanks.
‘Be my guest‘ is an informal expressions that means ‘I don’t mind’ or ‘go ahead’.
Use it when giving someone permission to do do something:
- May I have the last piece of cake?
- Be my guest.
- Could I just say something?
- Be my guest.
- Do you mind if I use your phone?
- Be my guest.
So, in your example, ‘if you want to kill yourself, be my guest’, the speaker doesn’t mind if the other person kills themselves and he gives them permission to do it.
