In the Hebrew language when you buy at a store or when
Showing a friend something new you bought
Friend / seller always says “תתחדש” which is in lack of a better term
“Enjoy your purchase / get newfied (I know that’s wrong smile)”

its a blessing like “bless you” when you sneeze, something automatic.
i was wondering, is there a parallel word in English?

cheers..

I cannot think of any specifically related to a purchase, other than what you suggest: “Enjoy your purchase”.  What is the Hebrew word?  how does it translate?

Luke is right on “enjoy your purchase.” Also:

I hope you enoy your purchase.
I hope you enoy your shoes, suit, lawn mower, etc.
Thank you and come back.

or

I’m glad you finally bought something. I was beginning to think you were just moving in.

And here’s a coupon worth ten percent off your next purchase. Twenty percent if you apply for a charge card.

And don’t forget phone calls unless you’re on the ‘do not call list’ which no one adheres to anyhow, not if you are their customer, like banks, who can get by with it.
