How it's used

Focus on the perspective of the speaker when using this directional complement. It implies movement from a more enclosed or private space into a more open or public one, such as stepping out of a room into a hallway. It is frequently paired with verbs of motion like 行, 拎, or 攞 to describe the physical trajectory of an object or person.

Common mistake

Learners often confuse this with 出去, which describes movement away from the speaker. Use 出來 when the destination is where the speaker is currently located or a place they perceive as more central.
