I want to encourage my friend when he wants to start a new life in another country and leave behind his troubled in the native land.
Will "go ahead" sounds like I am superior than him and giving him the permission to do so?
And does "Just go" imply that I am impatient and want him to leave as soon as possible?
Thx!!!
@Io ,
Go ahead is a lot softer, it implies that you are agreeing with his decision,
Just go sounds like you're telling him what to do.
@Io ,
Yes, but if he's a friend you don't have to worry about things like that.
And doesn't he speak your language?
