Learn English – How to understand “Here you are.” “You are here” or “Here are you”

difference

When we want to give something to somebody, we may say:

Here you are.

But I don't understand why this sentence means "I give it to you".

What are the differences among them:

  • Here you are.
  • Here are you.
  • You are here.

Here you are / There you are: is commonly used when you're looking for someone (or something) and you found them. For example: you're looking for your brother in the house, and when you found him, you said: there you are!

I've never heard of here are you, but I don't think that's a phrase.

You are here is used when you're basically telling someone that they are... here. You can pretty much replace the word here with any other places.

Here you go is pretty much used when you're giving someone something. Do note that here you are and here you go are interchangeable, but the common usage of here you are is in my first example.
