How do you tell someone to "Get away" or "Get back"

How would you command someone to "Get away" or "Get back," as a warning. I don't mean if someone's irritating you and you want them to leave you alone, but more along the lines of a warning. Example: "Get back! That snake is poisonous!"

¡muévanse atrás!

¡Cuida su distancia!

¡Quédense atrás!

DonBigoteDeLaLancha tripped my mind. In Mexico you would probably first hear: ¡Aguas! This would be used instead of ¡Ojo! Then the imperative of some form.

Hello Lev1athan

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum smile

You said/asked:

How would you command someone to "Get away" or "Get back," as a warning. I don't mean if someone's irritating you and you want them to leave you alone, but more along the lines of a warning. Example: "Get back! That snake is poisonous!"

You could say: "¡Atrás! (o ¡Retrocedan!) ¡Ese serpiente es venenoso!"

= "Get back (retreat/move back!) That snake is poisonous!"

I hope this helps wink

Corrijan mi español si es necesario, por favor smile

¡Hazte para atrás de inmediato, esa culebra es venenosa!

enter image description here

But if you really find youself suddenly in this situation, it´s best to stop all movement rather than moving back.

¡Darlo un poco de espacio al serpiente ! ( This is just a suggestion.) Retrodecer is probably the most likely verb to use Dar espacio a ..would work well in an accident situation: if the ambulance can't get through or something like that. .
