私の部屋から出て行って
watashi no heya kara dete itte
The English phrase "get out of my room" is translated into Japanese as 私の部屋から出て行って (watashi no heya kara dete itte).
This phrase is used as a command to tell someone to leave the speaker's room immediately. You can use the word heya to mean "room" and kara to mean "from". If you want to be shorter, you can say Dete to mean "Get out."
Which one should you use?
The way you end the phrase changes the tone significantly. Using dete itte is a strong, direct command. Conversely, if you want to make the phrase a polite request, add kudasai to the end to say 出て行ってください, which means "please leave."
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
The form 私の部屋から出て行って is a standard way to express a strong and direct command. For a polite request, use Dete kudasai or the full 出て行ってください. The form Heya kara dete is an informal way to say "Get out of the room."
How does it change in a sentence?
The form 出て行って (dete itte) combines the te-form of the verb deru (to exit) with the verb iku (to go) to create a command that implies the continuous action of leaving.
How do you pronounce it?
watashi no heya kara dete itte
Did you know?
- The word heya ('room') shares a root with the word for 'space' or 'interval', reflecting how Japanese architecture traditionally used sliding screens to define flexible spaces rather than fixed rooms.
- A person might respond to this command by saying shitsurei shimasu, which literally means 'I am being rude' but is the standard polite way to enter or leave any room.
- Adding kudasai makes the phrase a polite request, but in a heated argument, saying dete itte kudasai with a cold tone can actually feel more menacing and final than shouting.
