When To Use EmigrateTo emigrate is to leave one country or region to settle in another. “Emigrate†implies a permanent move and only applies to people. For example,
-My grandparents emigrated from Norway.
The difference between “immigrate†and “emigrate†is that “immigrating†is the act of entering a foreign country to live while “emigrating†is the act of leaving a country to live in another. Consider the differences in our above examples,
-My grandparents immigrated to the United States.
-My grandparents emigrated from Norway.
In this example, my grandparents are immigrants here in the United States, but back in Norway, they are emigrants. The graphic below does a good job illustrating the difference.
