Verbos de movimiento

Question

Hi guys! I've got a little question, because I don't know what does it exactly mean:

*Me voy de Madrid el domingo *.

Does it mean: a) I go to Madrid.... or perhaps b) I go from Madrit....

Thanks for your help!

I leave Madrid - I am going from Madrid - I go from Madrid. - ian-hill, Apr 28, 2011

Answer 1

It's from irse - to go away.

This pronomial form is all about leaving where you are at, without having to specify to where you're going.

irse

pronomial verb

1 to go, to leave (marcharse)

irse a -> to go to

¡vete! -> go away!

2.to go (gastarse, desaparecer)

se ha ido la luz -> there's been a power cut

also:

irse abajo -> to fall down; (edificio) to collapse; (negocio) to fall through (planes)

Answer 2

We say "me voy de" (a place) when we are leaving that place.

Answer 3

Neska, I believe that mean "I am leaving from Madrid", but I'm not completely sure.
