September 5, 2007 at 9:41 AMhi nelfie, The 啊 (a) on the end of the second sentence is just an "语气词" (yǔqìcí), which is a mood particle. It doesn't have any meaning. Hmm, maybe a less strong way of saying 'get lost' would be, 'please get lost', haha: 请走开 (Qǐng zǒukāi) Or, the other way to do it in Chinese is by giving some subtle hints, i.e.: 你认错人了。(Nǐ rèncuò rén le.) You've got the wrong person. 我不认识你。(Wǒ bù rènshi nǐ.) I don't know you.
