Definition

at your leisure: whenever you like, when you have time, whenever it's convenient for you idiom
You cannot finish these reports at your leisure. Please work on them now. It's important that they are finished right now, not when it's convenient for you!

Examples

  • "Feel free to contact them at your leisure."
  • "In any case, I hope this information is helpful to you, and I invite you to stop by my new condo at your leisure."
  • "Anyway, feel free to use the gym at your leisure, though keep in mind that the workouts are mandatory."
Exercise 1
Towards the end of his email, Kevin invites Susie to his apartment .
Towards the end of his email, Kevin invites Susie to his apartment whenever she would like.
whenever she would like: This is the best choice here. Kevin says: "I invite you to stop by my new condo at your leisure". "At your leisure" is an idiomatic expression which means: "whenever you would like" or "at your convenience".
when she finishes work: This is incorrect. Although "leisure" usually indicates "free time", the phrase "at your leisure" has nothing to do with the time that Susie finishes working.
when she's feeling lonely: This is incorrect. The expression "at your leisure" does not indicate anything about loneliness.
if she is feeling tired: This is incorrect. Kevin asks to Susie to come by his apartment when she wishes, but the expression he uses does not indicate anything about fatigue. Kevin does mention blankets, because he has turned off the heat in his home.
