your turn
You go next
Your turn signals that it's now someone else's opportunity to act, speak, or participate.
In games, it marks when play passes to another player: It's your turn to roll the dice.
In conversation, it prompts someone to respond or contribute: I've said my piece—your turn.
The phrase structures turn-taking across contexts from board games to debates.
