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
English isn’t my first language, but can you even fix the prepositions to the verbs like that. Wouldn’t you have to define your frame of reference? I’d say it shifts with your perspective.
Example:
I’m in Homeyland and there are migrants, who are emigrating from the Faraway Islands and immigrating to Homeyland.
When I’m in the Faraway Islands, I’d say the same people are emigrating to Homeyland. While Homeylanders coming here are immigrating from Homeyland.
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.
So in other words emigrating from (going away from) and immigrating to (coming in to), i.e. your initial comment is backwards.
You got it right this time, but not in the original comment.
Were you stoned when you typed it? Are you still stoned?

You flipped it, that’s the opposite of what you said initially.
Yes, you are correct
I’m emigrating from the USA and I am immigrating to Iran.
Emigrate from, immigrate to.
