English Idiomatic Expression: “You may want to…”

If you are new here please read this first.

Have you heard this popular English phrase – “You may want to (do something)”?

It’s used by English speakers worldwide, and it’s very handy to have it in your active phraseology because of the following reasons:

• You can use it instead of “you should…” but you don’t want to sound as if you’re giving orders;
• You want to give someone unsolicited advice but you don’t want to fall out with them in case the other person doesn’t take well to being told what to do!

Basically the phrase “You may want to…” can be used if you want to come across as a friendly person and you want to avoid any miscommunication that might potentially cause a negative reaction to what you’re saying.
