follow me

[leylia]

Hiya ^_^ I just want to know howyou say "follow me" in japanese.

Some films say "kochira" and it says "follow me" in the subtitles.

Some say "..... ni tsuite"

Thanks for the help in advance ^_^

ni tsuite would make more sence. Given that the partical 'ni' is implying direction.. asking someone to go with you.

Perhaps the most common polite way would be to say "Kochira, douzo", which would be something like "This way, please." A slightly more casual for of the same would be "Kochira e".

You could also say "Watashi ni tsuite kite kudasai", which would be a more literal "Please follow me." This can be shortened to "tsuite kite kudasai", or even "tsuite kite".

what does "tsuite kitte" literally mean?

I know kitte is the command form for "to come" so is it "come this way?"

In this sense, "tsuku - 付く" is "to stick to," or "to adhere to."

So, "tsuitekite - 付いて来て," would be "stick (to me) and follow."

Ah ok. I didn't know the command form for tsuku. Well, I did, I just only see it as tsukete (which means to attach, but I guess it would be different in this case).

You're mixing up 付く and 付ける, the Intransitive and Transitive forms, respectively, of the same verb.

"To be attached" = 付く -> 〜Te Form is 付いて

"To attach" = 付ける -> 〜Te Form is 付けて

aight, i get it.

watashi wa battery case o tsukeru - i attach batter cases
watashi wa anata o tsuku ga mitta - i saw you be attached?

I get the forms, just trying to use it in a sentence is kinda hard to do.

Just like to add a bit.

Tsuiteiku (ついて行く） means to follow too.
So, わたしをついていく。 would also mean "Follow me."

FYI: Kochira is saying "This way" or "This direction" than "Follow me", close enouph for the translator I guess.
