“There you go!”

You're teaching your daughter to swim. You told her to kick her legs. She's doing a good job, so you want to praise her. You say:

There you go!

There you go!

This is what you say to someone who you're trying to teach, while they're doing something good. This is useful when you're coaching sports or teaching someone to cook, for example.

When you pronounce this phrase, the stress is placed on "there":

There you go!
