§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
The Chinese word 离开 (líkāi) is a versatile verb that directly translates to 'to leave'. It's an essential word for describing movement away from a place, a person, or even a situation. You'll hear and use it frequently in everyday conversations, from talking about leaving home for work to someone leaving a party early.
- DEFINITION
- To leave; to depart from a place, person, or situation.
Think of 离开 (líkāi) as your go-to word when you want to express the act of parting ways, whether it's for a short while or permanently. It's quite similar to the English 'to leave' and can be used in many of the same contexts. It's a neutral word, so it doesn't carry any strong emotional connotations on its own, though the context of its use might.
他离开了公司。
Hint: He left the company.
我明天早上离开北京。
Hint: I will leave Beijing tomorrow morning.
You can use 离开 (líkāi) with a direct object, which is the place or person being left. For example, 离开家 (líkāi jiā) means 'to leave home', and 离开朋友 (líkāi péngyǒu) means 'to leave friends'. It's pretty straightforward in its grammatical structure.
It's also common to see 离开 (líkāi) used with particles like 了 (le) to indicate a completed action. For instance, 他已经离开了 (tā yǐjīng líkāi le) means 'He has already left'. This is a common pattern for many verbs in Chinese, so it's a good one to get comfortable with early on.
他们什么时候离开？
Hint: When are they leaving?
Here are some common situations where you'd use 离开 (líkāi):
- When someone is going away from a physical location: 'He left the office.'
- When someone is ending a relationship or job: 'She left her boyfriend.' or 'He left his job.'
- When something is separated from something else: 'The dust left the window.' (though less common, still grammatically correct)
You might also encounter 离开 (líkāi) in more abstract contexts, such as 'leaving a topic' or 'leaving a problem behind'. The core meaning of moving away from something remains consistent.
请不要离开我。
Hint: Please don't leave me.
As an A1 learner, focusing on using 离开 (líkāi) with simple nouns for places and people will be your best bet. Don't worry too much about complex sentence structures at this stage. Just get comfortable with the basic usage, and you'll be able to communicate effectively in many situations.
§ Basic Usage of 离开
Alright, so you know 离开 (líkāi) means 'to leave'. Now let's get into how to actually use it. It's a verb, so it's pretty straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind to sound natural.
- Structure
- Subject + 离开 + Object (place/person)
This is the most common way you'll use 离开. The 'object' is usually the place you're leaving or the person you're leaving from.
我离开学校了。(Wǒ líkāi xuéxiào le.)
Translation hint: I left school.
他不想离开你。(Tā bù xiǎng líkāi nǐ.)
Translation hint: He doesn't want to leave you.
§ 离开 with Time and Direction
You can add time words or directional complements to 离开 to give more detail.
- Time
- Subject + Time + 离开 + Object
我们早上八点离开家。(Wǒmen zǎoshang bā diǎn líkāi jiā.)
Translation hint: We left home at 8 AM.
- Directional Complements
- Subject + 离开 + Object + Directional Complement (e.g., 去/来)
While '去' (qù - to go) and '来' (lái - to come) are verbs themselves, they can also act as directional complements after 离开 to specify the direction of leaving.
他离开北京去上海了。(Tā líkāi Běijīng qù Shànghǎi le.)
Translation hint: He left Beijing to go to Shanghai.
请不要离开这里来我的办公室。(Qǐng bù yào líkāi zhèlǐ lái wǒ de bàngōngshì.)
Translation hint: Please don't leave here and come to my office.
§ Common Mistakes with 离开
Don't use '从' (cóng - from) directly before the place you're leaving with 离开. 离开 already implies 'from'.
- Incorrect
- 我从学校离开了。(Wǒ cóng xuéxiào líkāi le.)
- Correct
- 我离开学校了。(Wǒ líkāi xuéxiào le.)
You might see '从...离开' (cóng... líkāi) in more complex sentences, but generally, when just stating you left a place, you don't need '从'. For example, you might say '我从昨天开始离开家' (Wǒ cóng zuótiān kāishǐ líkāi jiā) - 'I started leaving home since yesterday'. But for a simple 'I left home', just use '我离开家了'.
Sometimes learners confuse 离开 (líkāi) with 出发 (chūfā - to depart/set off). While both involve leaving, 出发 usually implies starting a journey, while 离开 is simply the act of going away from something or someone.
§ 离开 in Resultative Complements
You can also use 离开 with resultative complements to show the result of leaving, though this is a bit more advanced.
- Structure
- Verb + 离开 + Object
In this case, 离开 acts as the result of the action described by the preceding verb.
他走离开了。(Tā zǒu líkāi le.)
Translation hint: He walked away (literally, 'he walked and left').
§ Summary of 离开 Usage
Simple: Subject + 离开 + Object (place/person)
With Time: Subject + Time + 离开 + Object
With Direction: Subject + 离开 + Object + Directional Complement (e.g., 去/来)
Resultative: Verb + 离开 + Object
Keep practicing these structures, and you'll get the hang of 离开 in no time. It's a super useful word, so master it!
§ Don't confuse it with 出去 (chūqù) or 走 (zǒu)
Many beginners mix up 离开 (líkāi) with other words like 出去 (chūqù) or 走 (zǒu). While all three can relate to moving away, their meanings and usages are different.
- DEFINITION
- 出去 (chūqù): to go out (from an inside place to an outside place)
我需要出去买菜。(Wǒ xūyào chūqù mǎi cài.) - I need to go out to buy groceries.
- DEFINITION
- 走 (zǒu): to walk; to leave (general sense, less formal than 离开)
我该走了。(Wǒ gāi zǒu le.) - I should go/leave now.
离开 (líkāi) implies a more definitive separation from a place, person, or situation. It often suggests a longer-term departure or a more formal 'leaving'.
§ Using 离开 with the wrong prepositions
In English, we often say 'leave from a place'. In Chinese, 离开 (líkāi) already includes the idea of 'from', so you usually don't need an extra preposition like 从 (cóng).
Incorrect example:
我从上海离开了。(Wǒ cóng Shànghǎi líkāi le.) - *Literally: I left from Shanghai.* (Redundant)
Correct usage:
我离开上海了。(Wǒ líkāi Shànghǎi le.) - I left Shanghai.
§ Forgetting the object after 离开
离开 (líkāi) is a transitive verb, which means it usually needs an object. You need to specify *what* or *who* is being left.
Incorrect example:
他离开了。(Tā líkāi le.) - *He left.* (Grammatically incomplete when referring to leaving a specific place/person).
Correct usage:
他离开家了。(Tā líkāi jiā le.) - He left home.
她离开了他。(Tā líkāi le tā.) - She left him.
While '他离开了' can be used in some contexts where the object is clear from the context, it's safer for learners to always include the object to avoid ambiguity, especially when learning.
§ Using 离开 for short, immediate departures
For quick, temporary departures, 离开 (líkāi) can sound a bit too formal or heavy. For instance, if you're just stepping out of a room for a moment, 离开 might not be the most natural choice.
我出去一下。(Wǒ chūqù yīxià.) - I'm going out for a bit.
Here, 出去 (chūqù) is much more natural than 我离开一下 (Wǒ líkāi yīxià), which sounds like a more significant departure.
§ Similar words for 'leave'
When you're learning Chinese, you'll find a few different words that can translate to 'leave' in English. It's important to understand the nuances so you use the right one at the right time. Let's look at 离开 (líkāi) and compare it to a couple of common alternatives.
§ 离开 (líkāi) - The General 'Leave'
- DEFINITION
- To leave; to depart from a place or a person.
离开 (líkāi) is your most general and versatile word for 'to leave'. You can use it in most situations where you're talking about departing from a place, a person, or even a situation.
我明天会离开北京。
- HINT
- I will leave Beijing tomorrow.
他不想离开家人。
- HINT
- He doesn't want to leave his family.
§ 走 (zǒu) - To walk, to leave (informal)
- DEFINITION
- To walk; to go; sometimes used informally for 'to leave' or 'to go away'.
走 (zǒu) primarily means 'to walk' or 'to go'. However, in casual conversation, it can also mean 'to leave', especially when you're talking about leaving a specific place or going away.
我们该走了。
- HINT
- We should go (leave) now.
你什么时候走？
- HINT
- When are you leaving?
§ 出发 (chūfā) - To set off, to depart
- DEFINITION
- To set off; to start a journey; to depart (usually for a planned trip).
出发 (chūfā) is used specifically when you are 'setting off' or 'departing' for a journey or a trip. It implies a planned movement from one point to another, often with a destination in mind.
我们早上八点出发。
- HINT
- We will depart at 8 AM.
飞机准时出发了。
- HINT
- The plane departed on time.
§ When to use which word
Here's a quick summary to help you choose:
- 离开 (líkāi): Use this for most general situations where you are leaving a place, a person, or a relationship. It's the safest bet if you're unsure.
- 走 (zǒu): Use this in informal contexts for simply 'going' or 'leaving' a place. It's often more about the action of moving away.
- 出发 (chūfā): Use this specifically when you are starting a journey or a trip. It implies a scheduled or purposeful departure towards a destination.
How Formal Is It?
"他悄然离去，没有告别。(He quietly left without saying goodbye.)"
"我需要离开了。(I need to leave.)"
"我走了。(I'm off.)"
"妈妈，我拜拜了！(Mom, bye-bye!)"

Both '离开' and '去' can relate to moving away from a place. However, '去' is more general and often implies going to a new destination.
'离开' specifically means to depart from a current location. '去' means to go to a place, with less emphasis on the departure point.
我<b>离开</b>了家。(Wǒ líkāi le jiā.) I left home. / 我<b>去</b>学校。(Wǒ qù xuéxiào.) I go to school.
Like '离开', '走' can mean to depart or leave. It's often used informally or when the destination isn't specified.
'离开' is more formal and emphasizes the act of separating from a place. '走' is more casual and can just mean 'to walk' or 'to leave' without a specific destination implied.
他<b>离开</b>了公司。(Tā líkāi le gōngsī.) He left the company. / 他<b>走</b>了。(Tā zǒu le.) He left.
Both involve starting a journey from a point.
'离开' means to depart from a place. '出发' means to set out or start a journey, often with a destination in mind.
我们明天<b>离开</b>北京。(Wǒmen míngtiān líkāi Běijīng.) We leave Beijing tomorrow. / 我们明天<b>出发</b>去上海。(Wǒmen míngtiān chūfā qù Shànghǎi.) We set off for Shanghai tomorrow.
When talking about jobs, both imply ending employment.
'离开' can be used generally for leaving a job, but '辞职' specifically means to resign from a position.
他<b>离开</b>了这份工作。(Tā líkāi le zhè fèn gōngzuò.) He left this job. / 他<b>辞职</b>了。(Tā cízhí le.) He resigned.

Como usar
离开 (líkāi) is a versatile verb meaning 'to leave'. It can be used for people leaving a place, or things leaving a surface or position. It can be followed by a place or an object.
Examples:
1. 他离开了家。 (Tā líkāi le jiā.) - He left home.
2. 飞机很快就要离开地面了。 (Fēijī hěn kuài jiù yào líkāi dìmiàn le.) - The airplane is about to leave the ground soon.
3. 请不要离开你的座位。 (Qǐng bù yào líkāi nǐ de zuòwèi.) - Please don't leave your seat.
A common mistake is using 走 (zǒu) when 离开 (líkāi) is more appropriate for 'to leave a specific place'. While 走 can mean 'to walk' or 'to go', 离开 specifically means 'to depart from'.
Incorrect: 他走了北京。 (Tā zǒu le Běijīng.) - (This sounds more like 'He walked Beijing' or 'He went Beijing'.)
Correct: 他离开了北京。 (Tā líkāi le Běijīng.) - He left Beijing.
Dicas
Basic Usage of 离开
The most straightforward way to use 离开 is like the English verb 'to leave'. You leave a place. For example, 我离开了家 (Wǒ líkāi le jiā) means 'I left home'.
离开 for People and Objects
离开 can be used for both people and objects. For instance, 他离开了公司 (Tā líkāi le gōngsī) means 'He left the company', and 飞机离开了跑道 (Fēijī líkāi le pǎodào) means 'The plane left the runway'.
Using '从' with 离开
To specify *from where* someone or something leaves, you can use 从 (cóng) meaning 'from'. For example, 他从上海离开了 (Tā cóng Shànghǎi líkāi le) means 'He left from Shanghai'.
离开 with Time
You can combine 离开 with time expressions to say when something left. For example, 我们昨天离开了北京 (Wǒmen zuótiān líkāi le Běijīng) means 'We left Beijing yesterday'.
离开 as 'to depart'
In some contexts, 离开 can be translated as 'to depart', especially for travel. The train will depart soon: 火车很快就会离开 (Huǒchē hěn kuài jiù huì líkāi).
Don't use 离开 for 'to leave something behind'
离开 specifically means 'to exit' or 'to go away from'. It does not mean 'to forget' or 'to accidentally leave something behind'. For that, you'd use something like 忘 (wàng - to forget) or 落下 (làxià - to leave something behind). For example, I left my phone at home: 我把手机落在家里了 (Wǒ bǎ shǒujī là zài jiālǐ le).
Using '要' to express intention to leave
To say someone *is about to leave* or *wants to leave*, you can use 要 (yào). For example, 我要离开了 (Wǒ yào líkāi le) means 'I'm going to leave' or 'I want to leave'.
Combined with other verbs for direction
While 离开 itself implies direction, you can sometimes see it combined with verbs like 走 (zǒu - to walk/go) for emphasis, though 离开 alone is sufficient. E.g., 离开这里走 (Líkāi zhèlǐ zǒu - Leave here and go), though 离开这里 is more common.
Common phrases with 离开
Some common phrases include 离开学校 (líkāi xuéxiào - leave school), 离开家 (líkāi jiā - leave home), 离开办公室 (líkāi bàngōngshì - leave the office).
Polite ways to say goodbye when leaving
When you are 离开, it's polite to say 再见 (zàijiàn - goodbye) or simply 走了 (zǒule - 'I'm leaving now').

小明因为生病，今天不能离开学校去参加课外活动。
If someone is sick, they might not be able to attend extracurricular activities. However, the statement says they cannot 'leave' school to participate. If they are in school, they would need to leave it to attend an activity outside, so '不能离开' (cannot leave) makes sense in the context of preventing them from attending the activity. But the statement implies they are at school and cannot leave to go to an activity. If they are sick, they might leave school to go home, not to an activity. The phrasing here is a bit tricky. If '不能离开学校' implies they are confined to school, then participating in outside activity is impossible. However, the common understanding is that if you are sick you don't go to school at all, or if you are in school and sick, you leave to go home, not to an activity. Let's re-evaluate. If he is sick, he might not be *allowed* to leave school to attend an activity, implying he is already at school. Or, he cannot leave his home (to go to school and then leave school for activity). The question is '不能离开学校去参加课外活动'. This implies he is at school. If he is sick, he should probably go home, not just stay at school and miss the activity. The statement implies he wants to go to the activity, but cannot leave school. This is not the most natural consequence of being sick. Usually, if you are sick, you don't go to school at all, or you go home from school. Therefore, the statement is false in a typical scenario.

Deciding to leave a city to start a new life is a common and logical connection between the two ideas. '离开' (to leave) is correctly used here.
