Question

Just wondering...

Welcome to the forum, :) - 00494d19, Jul 21, 2011

Answer 1

• Leave me! = ¡Déjame!
• Leave me alone! = ¡Déjame en paz!

I think "Déjame" can also mean, "go away". If you are bothered by someone, and want to tell him/her to leave or go away.

So would it me rude to say to a waiter at the restaurant? - katydew, Jul 21, 2011

Depends, if you say something like "déjame pensar", you´re not saying "go away and let me think", you´re just saying "Let me think about it" - David2642, Jul 11, 2017
