It really means please come up. Very polite. And you can take it as please come in. I think lots of the traditional Japanese houses, hotels (旅館 Ryokan) and buildings had the floor higher than the entrance. You take off your shoes there and step up into the house. You can keep the house cleaner that way. The dirt don't get in much because of the floor level. And we still have the entrances made that way even the hight is not as high as before. So "Agatte kudasai" came from that, I think, and we still say it as please come in. And you can also say "Douzo Oagari kudasai" to make it even more polite than "Agatte kudasai." 上がって下さい。(Agatte kudasai.) どうぞお上がり下さい。(Oagari kudasai.) It's kinda funny to see both chinese characters "up" and "down" in one sentence. Alright, I hope it helped. I long to see The Rock's eyebrow move up and down while I'm in his arms, Yoshi:wink: Kanji (ロックの腕の中で彼の眉毛が上下に動くのを見る事を熱望する。) Kana (ロックのうでのなかでかれのまゆげがじょうげにうごくのをみることをねつぼうする。) Hi everyone, お早うございまーす! :grin:
