Can you also say "Take you care" or "Take you care, too"?

As a greeting in parting you often say "Take care" (at least in the US, I am not so sure about the UK).

Can you also say "Take you care" or answer with "Take you care, too"?


Solution 1:

I'll second take care as popular in the US.

As far as

"take you care" or "take you care, too"

this construction isn't standard. That said,

"you take care" and "you take care, too"

are often heard.

Solution 2:

It is:

(You) Take care.

I have no idea what your native tongue is. But you might be interested in the subject of word order. If you find yourself switching the order of words in a sentence (usually because you are mentally translating on the fly), then it is very likely because your native language follows a word order different from English.

Solution 3:

"Take care" is in the imperative, i.e. it is a command or request. "You" is assumed as the subject and not normally included. This is the same for all imperatives. "Sit down", "Pass the salt", "Bring a friend", etc., you do not include an explicit subject except in rare cases where it is needed for clarity or emphasis.
