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.

You could say: "¡Atrás! (o ¡Retrocedan!) ¡Ese serpiente es venenoso!"
= "Get back (retreat/move back!) That snake is poisonous!"

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

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. .
¡Ojo! ¡Date pa' atrás!
Carefull! Get back!
¡Tenga cuidado, una serpiente!
Be careful, a snake!
Cuidarte Dejarlo Anda
Hazte para atras
