Anyone know how to say "Get back!" in Spanish?

-G.

In what sense of the phrase do you want it? (Not spanish here. Portuguese. But I know some spanish, cause I live near argentina and uruguay)

If it is like "Get Back! Dont come any closer!", than the translation would be something like that "Te aleja! No te acercas!"

If it is something like "Get Back! I wanna talk to you.", than it would be like this "Vuelve aca! Quiero hablar con te."

If is in any other meaning, please ask.

Hope it helps (and that some spanish speaker shows up to correct me, or confirm it )

The first. Thanks.

I'm afraid I have to correct you (BTW, I'm from Spain)
You almost got it right. The correct way of doing the translation would be "aléjate", not "te aleja", but depending on the context, a better translation would be "¡Atrás!" (notice the first exclamation mark, as is written in Spanish) or "¡Vete!".

Greg, if you give me the context, I can provide with the exact translation. Also, if you need more help with Spanish dialogue, feel free to ask (if you prefer, my email is davidbarrenaATyahooDOTes).

Un saludo,

Honestly? I can't remember why I needed that anymore.

I live in Texas and Mexican-American, and any spanish speaker will tell you that there are alot of diffrent dialects of spanish.

Generally though theres not much of a diffrence outside of diffrent conjugations of verbs.

You can say ¡Patras! ot ¡Par Atras! Which is get Back or Back!

or you can say Vete par atras which is to go back if its written this is the commonly accepted usage, but if you're saying it then Par Atras which is BACK is usually used.

But writing about some one saying it, hell even I don't know that one. I think I would write it like he said it.
