To leave the last words

Hi !

I usually write in my e-mail the following sentence:

" I leave you the last words" BUT

I have some doubts... should it be maybe:

" I leave TO you the last words" ??

Thanks

Pamela

Don't say either. What do you mean? eg I leave the decision to you ?

hmmm .. once again I translated from Italian to English and it makes no sense :-(

I mean that I need his opinion . I usually write:

" I think the design looks beautiful BUT of course I leave the last words to you"

Please advise some good alternative

Thanks

Hi,

This is not a natural thing to say. Please seem my other post.

Don't write 'gonna'. It is just how we pronounce 'going to'.

Hi,

As I said, 'I leave the last word to you' means 'you can make the final decision.'

When you say 'better', do you mean

eg more formal?

eg more fancy and elaborate?
