逐句讲解

Just pull up a chair. 语气: Casual and friendly

Use it to invite someone to join your table, often when you're already sitting with others. It sounds too relaxed for a job interview or a formal meeting.

“Just pull up a chair.”

出自Margaret (2012)
Make yourself comfortable. 语气: Warm host welcome

Use it when guests arrive at your home or office. It means "sit, relax, and feel at home." Don't use it when you need someone to sit quickly for a task.

“Make yourself comfortable.”

出自Jumanji: The Next Level (2019)
Please have a seat. 语气: Polite and a bit serious

It's common before an interview, a meeting, or an important talk. With close friends at home, it can sound a little stiff.

“Please have a seat.”

出自AWOL-72 (2015)
Take a seat. 语气: Neutral and friendly

Use it almost anywhere: in an office, a class, or at home. Say it with a friendly voice, because a flat voice can make it sound like an order.
Grab a seat. 语气: Very casual

Use it with friends, coworkers you know well, or at informal events. Avoid it in formal situations.
Come and sit with us. 语气: Friendly and inclusive

Use it when you see someone standing alone and want them to join your group. It shows you really want their company.

常见错误

不太合适 ~~Take a sit.~~

更合适的说法 Take a seat.

Sit is the verb. Seat is the noun for the place where you sit, so you take, have, or grab a seat.
不太合适 ~~Make you comfortable.~~

更合适的说法 Make yourself comfortable.

The guest is the person doing the action, so English uses the reflexive pronoun yourself (or yourselves for a group).
不太合适 ~~Just pull a chair.~~

更合适的说法 Just pull up a chair.

Pull up a chair is a fixed phrase that means bring a chair closer and join us. Without up, it sounds like you only drag a chair.
