How to Say ‘Go away’ in Simplified Chinese
滚开
gǔn kāi
[gwin kye]
💬 Usage Tip: [开] often adds the idea of separation or moving away, not just [open]. So [滚开] is literally more like [roll away], and the same [开] shows up in [拿开] [take it away].
🇨🇳 In China: This is a sharp order, not a polite [please leave]. If you need distance without sounding aggressive, people are more likely to soften it or avoid a direct command.
