come to me

Hello,

Could you help, please?

If I said:

"Please come to me at 6 p.m."

would it be clearly understood by an English-speaking person that I mean:

'Please come to my place at 6 p.m.' ?

Thank you for your help!

" This is not natural English. The listener would know from the context what you meant, but might wonder if you said it that way for some special reason. Natural English is ' Please come at 6 pm '.

Yes, but it sounds like an invitation to some kind of illicit romantic tryst. For other purposes, stick to

Please come (to my place) at 6 p.m.

Thank you for all the helping posts!

'Tryst' - a nice word! Emotion: wink

Kind regards!
