I'm confused about 'from.' How do you say 'I'm from the US' and 'This is from me to you?' Mesi anpil!

How do you say "Get out of here!" precisely?

You know, in Haitian Creole, sometimes there are no precise way of saying one thing. You may hear it one way in Port-Au-Prince, and a different way in the North and South. So I cannot tell you how to say it precisely, but I can tell you the different terms you'll hear for that one sentence :)

Get out of here!
Soti la!
Rale kò w la!
Retire kò w la!
Mete w deyò!
Fout ou deyò! (vulgar)

how do you say im going out

I'm stepping out.
M'ap soti.

I'm going out.
M'ap soti.
Mwen pral soti.

what does soti or sot mean? for example: "soti deyo" what are some common ways to use it?

soti → go out, come out of, come from, exit
sot → (contracted form of soti) it also means just came from

Would you go out with me?
Eske ou ta vle soti avè m?
Eske ou ta vle fè yon ti soti avè m?
