come here

Get over here

Come here is a command summoning someone to your location.

It ranges from neutral directive to sharp demand depending on tone: Come here, let me show you something versus Come here this instant.

Often softened with please or a name.

The phrase doubles as a beckoning gesture's verbal equivalent—parents use it with children, owners with pets, lovers with each other.
