is this the right vocabular to apply?

Gary Lee
Is "favor" the right vocabulary to apply.

Alright let us not fight over this. Since you're younger than me I favor this shirt to you.

thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary,

I would say something like these.

Alright, let us no

Yes thanks for the reply. but what I'm finding is the right replacement for the word "favor"

or is there any vocabulary that can replace this meaning => "favour someone by giving them an advantage to have it"

I can think of "grant" or "award", but I'm afraid they don't fit the bill...

The alternatives (e.g. "bestow") seem too formal for the context.

I'd be more inclined to say:

1. All right, let's not fight over this. Since you're younger than me, I'll let you have the shirt.

The advantageousness of having the shirt is clear from the context.

Is using "alright" incorrect in this c

In school I was always taught that there is no such word as "alright". The only correct form is "all right". Nevertheless, some members of the forum have found evidence, as I recall, that "alright" is also used and may be correct. I don't ever use it, however, and because of my own previous training, would never recommend it.

In this case can I say " I bestow this shirt to you since you're my younger one"

Hello Gary

The context isn't itself formal, so the formal word "bestow" seems incongruous. (It's also a little archaic.)

I would be inclined to avoid it.

PS:

"Bestow" takes "on":

" I bestow this shirt on you, since you're my younger brother."
