A natural way to answer
There's a custom I really like where you never arrive at someone's home empty-handed. You bring a small gift, and the host always offers you something to eat or drink straight away. It's a lovely way of showing care on both sides.
Key phrases to use
- turn up — arrive somewhere, often used casually“Don't turn up empty-handed; bring a bottle.”
- makes a fuss of — gives someone a lot of warm, kind attention“My grandma always makes a fuss of us when we visit.”
