How to Say "Get Away From Me" in Russian

отойди от меня

otoydi ot menya

The English phrase "get away from me" is translated into Russian as отойди от меня (otoydi ot menya).

This phrase is a command used to tell someone to move their body further away from you.

What does it mean word for word?

The verb отойди (otoydi) literally means "step away" or "move away" from a specific point. The phrase от меня (ot menya) means "from me".

The preposition от (ot) requires the Genitive case, which is why the form меня (menya) is used instead of the nominative я (ya).

otoydi ot menya

If you want to tell someone to 'get away' using a more aggressive or vulgar tone, you might swap отойди for the slang отвали, which literally translates to 'peel off' or 'detach'.
While отойди от меня is a direct command, adding the word пожалуйста (please) often sounds sarcastic or menacing rather than polite in a heated argument.
In a very heated argument, a Russian speaker might use the word прочь, as in прочь от меня, which functions like the English 'away with you' or 'be gone'.

Отойди от меня!
