¡sal de aquí! y ¡vete!

Question

De una telenovela, oí ambos de estas frases, ¡sal de aquí! y ¡vete!. Estas frases fueron en la misma escena, una después el otra. Ya que cada frase significa la misma cosa, ¿por qué se escogería una sobre la otra? o ¿hay una razón en vida real para escoger una sobre la otra?

Answer 1

I guess if it's a highly charged emotional moment we might do the same kind of thing

• "get lost!, go on get out of here!" or something similar

I agree. The angry person is just adding emphasis because she (only a "she"could have said it in a telenovela), really wants either the bum or the "bad woman" to get out of there quickly! - Gekkosan, Jul 8, 2010

Answer 2

The best is "lárgate de aquí" = clear off! Get out of here! Sal de aquí= Get out of here! Vete = Go!

Yes! I heard "lárgate de aquí" the other night, that one 'yells' really well :~) - Jack-OBrien, Jul 7, 2010

Answer 3

It's just my way of thinking, but vete doesn't seem as strong. We might tell a child "Vete al patio a jugar un ratito." But on the other hand, leave/get out of here seems harsher. No rule or reason, just how I feel.
