The more, the merrier

 It means that the more people there are, the better and more fun it will be.
 We usually use it when someone wants to join a group, and we’re happy to include them. 

Examples:

1- We’re having a game night this Friday — the more, the merrier!

2- I told my classmates they could bring their friends to the event. The more, the merrier!

Hello and welcome back to Daily English!  Today’s idiom is “the more, the merrier.”
 One more time — the more, the merrier.

Let’s see if you can guess what it means from these clues: Your friend is planning a movie night and says, “I invited Anna, Leo, and Sam.” You ask, “Can I bring my cousin too?” And she replies, “Of course! The more, the merrier!” Or imagine you're living in Japan and organizing a cherry blossom picnic in the park. You invite a few friends, but they ask if they can bring their coworkers, too. You laugh and say, “Sure — the more, the merrier!”  Now the picnic has turned into a mini festival! So, what does “the more, the merrier” mean?

 It means that the more people there are, the better and more fun it will be.
 We usually use it when someone wants to join a group, and we’re happy to include them. Examples:  “We’re having a game night this Friday — the more, the merrier!”
 “I told my classmates they could bring their friends to the event. The more, the merrier!”
 And sometimes, people use it for things too — like snacks or games — in a light or playful way: “Should I bring more cookies to the study session?” “Sure — the more, the merrier!”
 Just remember, it’s mostly used for people, not serious things like meetings or problems.

Your turn! Have you ever been in a situation where more people joined in — and it made everything more fun? Share your stories in the comment section please!
