"Get out of my house!"
Translation:Heraus aus meinem Haus!

The verb is herausgehen = "to go out". Then you need a preposition ("Get out of my house" in English). The preposition you need in German to go "out of/from" somewhere is aus.
It's not a full sentence -- it's more like "You! Out of my house! Now!"
When I had this sentence in German to translate into English, I answered, "Out of my house", and it was accepted. I thought of it as being an answer to a question such as, "Where did that book come from?"
This time, I had the English, "Get get out of my house!" to translate into German, and I got in a muddle tring to use a specific German verb for "get out". I put, "Verschwinde dich aus meinem Haus!"
In such cases we are not so polite and shorten it to "RAUS aus meinem Haus!!!"
Does the difference between herausgehen and hinausgehen have anything to do with the position of the speaker, whether already outside or inside? It seems like her means toward and hin means away from.
Does this mean the person giving the command was outside the house? How would one know this from the English sentence.?
You can't know that from the English sentence -- and so both Heraus! and Hinaus! are accepted.
Why is there no verb? Shouldn't "Heraus aus meinem Haus!" be "Out of my house!"?
So when using the imperative, you keep the e for a d ending? (sentence I used and was marked correct "verschwind aus meinem Haus" - corrected it as verschwind_e_ )

"Gehen Sie aus mein Haus heraus!" is been refused. Should I have reported it?
I tried "Gehen Sie aus meinem Haus hinaus!" which wasn't accepted. I'm not sure why it wasn't accepted.
No. That would imply that going out is towards the speaker, i.e. that the speaker was outside the house, but then they would have used „come“ and not „go“.
For „outside and away from me“, „hinaus“ is correct.
Hi So is "Geh aus mein Haus hinaus" correct? Or "Geh aus meinem Haus hinaus"? Or neither? I used "Geh aus mein Haus hinaus" and was marked incorrect. I used the accusative after "aus" because of the Point A->Point B implication.
I don't know about the rest of your sentence, but "aus" is a dative preposition only.
I tried "geht aus meinem haus hinaus" and was also marked wrong. My reasoning was that "gehen" is movement away from the speaker and thus required hinaus and not heraus. I am still not sure why one cannot use "gehen" in this instance
What's wrong with "Geh raus von meinem Haus"?
Was ist falsch mit "Geh raus von meinem Haus"?
Roughly, aus is "from the inside of" and von is "from next to".
In order to leave the house, you have to have been inside first, so aus is appropriate.
No; geh heraus makes no sense because heraus means “outwards and towards me”, and we use kommen for motion towards us, not gehen.
Totally obvious now that you say it. I should have asked if "Geh hinaus aus meinem Haus" is correct?
And isn't the correct answer "Heraus aus meinem Haus!" actually "Come out of my house" and not "Get out of my house"?
I should have asked if "Geh hinaus aus meinem Haus" is correct?
That is correct.
And isn't the correct answer "Heraus aus meinem Haus!" actually "Come out of my house" and not "Get out of my house"?
Depends on where you're standing when you're shouting it - if you're outside, I think "get out of there!" could still work.
I can't see the hover of the first word because it's too far left, and the hint leaves the screen.
