Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Pleasure"

A: How cute = That’s so cute!
The pleasure is all mine = Helping you was no problem, you don’t have to thank me!

A: “Pleasure” in this case can mean “to his own liking” or “however he wants”. Even during an argument, you can still do something according to your preferred experience.

A: It means you can't feel anything else except for pleasure

A: It’s said when someone is visiting.
It technically means that it’s a pleasure to see you and also wonders the reason that you are visiting.

But of course, you can say it sarcastically, meaning something like “why are you here?” So it really depends on the tone you use when you say it :) but it’s usually a positive thing

A: Se intendi per esempio quando ci si presenta, it's a pleasure è la stessa cosa di nice to meet you.
Letteralmente vuol dire 'è un piacere', quindi se lo trovi in un contesto diverso, alla fine è praticamente un 'of course'

A: "It is a great pleasure to meet you" sounds verrry polite, like you're meeting a celebrity or politician or someone. Whereas "Nice to meet you" you can use normally with anyone.

A: 1) I take pleasure in knowing that I’ve done something to help.
2) Do you take pleasure in upsetting people?

A: “It would be my pleasure”

A: If someone visits you unexpectedly you can say ‘to what do I owe the pleasure’ (of your visit)

A: This is quite an old fashioned expression and I never hear it.

It means to feel light headed, perhaps dizzy, with happiness so it is quite a positive feeling. You don't need to say "with pleasure", it is implied.

"After my date with Mary I felt giddy for days".

"The news made me giddy for the rest of the day."

A: personal means it impacts or affects you on an intimate level

"a pleasure" = general pleasure (more formal)
"my pleasure" = personal gratitude or satisfaction

A: They pretty much are the same.
My pleasure and it was a pleasure are both ways of responding to when you receive thanks.
Instead of saying you're welcome you could say either "my pleasure" or "it was a pleasure" as a replacement.

Thank you for cooking dinner for us
"Of course, it was my pleasure"

Thank you for setting time aside for us
"Don't mention it, it was a pleasure meeting you"


Though I will say those phrases are on the more "formal" side of English.

A: If you are meeting, you have not been introduced before, and are seeing each other for the first time.

If you are finally seeing someone, you may have met them before and just have not seen them for a while.

Both sentences can be used with someone you have never met before. Only the second sentence can be used with someone you have met before.

A: No difference. "My pleasure" is just shorter to say.

A: "It'a my pleasure" is often said after you do something for someone and they thank you. It is like "your welcome".

"I would be greatful" is said when someone is doing something for you. It is like "thank you".

Answering this question has been my pleasure!

A: Not all illegal and immoral things lead to obesity 😅 It’s “or” because it applies to some of these “pleasurable things”

A: Listening to Richard Marx songs is my guilty pleasure.
Eating comfort food is her guilty pleasure.
Watching pictures posted by others on Instagram is my brother’s guilty pleasure.

A: Both are correct. I think “What do you love doing for pleasure?” sounds a little bit more natural.

A: I mean, I think it would be better to just say "It's a pleasure to meet you", but "it's a pleasure" is perfectly correct to say as well. The only thing is that, if you say "it's a pleasure", then the "what?" of the statement would have to be implied. For example, if you say "It was a pleasure" - "likewise" then this could mean "It was a pleasure to have worked with you" or it could mean "It was a pleasure to have met you" - both of your options are perfectly acceptable, but if you leave out the second part, then you would have to imply the meaning if that makes sense.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: It'd be my pleasure.

A: You can say that or you can say your welcome or of course any time. They all mean similar things.

A: that person probably about american english, so that's ok :)

A: The first one is present tense and natural, formal but natural...

The second one is natural but very formal :)

A: × "Its a really pleasure to be here today!"
✓ "Its a great pleasure to be here today!"
