Ways to say it
| Indian | Romanization | Note |
|---|---|---|
| मुझे अकेला छोड़ दो | Mujhe akela chhod do | firm, Hindi |
| मुझे अकेला छोड़ दीजिए | Mujhe akela chhod dijiye | polite |
| मेरा पीछा छोड़ो | Mera peechha chhodo | stop pestering me |
Which one should you use?
मेरा पीछा छोड़ो (mera peechha chhodo) literally means "stop following me" and is used when someone keeps pestering you. A softer wish for quiet is मुझे अकेला रहने दो (mujhe akela rehne do), meaning "let me be alone".
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Changing दो (do) to दीजिए (dijiye) makes the request more polite but still clear.
