Bien pueda
A very warm Colombian expression meaning "go ahead" or "please, feel free." Reflects the hospitality and courtesy that Colombian culture is known for. You will hear it constantly when someone is granting permission or inviting you to do something, especially in Medellin and the coffee-growing region.
