from us = one of us

[ademoglu]

Hi.

Can we say 'You are not from us.' instead of 'You are not one of us.' to mean that you are not considered to be a member of our group?

I think I may be thinking in my native language.

 

[jutfrank]

No.

Note that the full stop inside both sets of quotation marks is wrong. We don't use a full stop there if the main sentence carries on after the closing quotation marks.

 

[Tdol]

I wouldn't.
