It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.
Yeah, it’s why your country has plenty of immigrants, but you never seem to run into any of your emmigrants. Or for the linguistic reason i- as a prefix can mean into and e- as a prefix can mean out of in latin, coming from the Latin words in and ex meaning in and out
Emigrate to, immigrate from.
edit: I’m still confused but probably wrong here.
You got that backwards.
Do I ? Emigrating is going away, immigrating is coming in, right?
Right, so you’re emigrating from America and you’re immigrating to, say, Zimbabwe.
It’s both, depending on perspective. You emigrate from America to Zimbabwe according to other Americans. To Zimbabweans, you have immigrated to Zimbabwe from America.
Right. You don’t contradict me. You emigrate from somewhere if that’s your subject. And you immigrate to somewhere.
To put it more simply. You can emigrate from America. Or you can immigrate to America.
