Hi. Would you please clarify the differences between: migrate, emigrate, and immigrate?
I read their definition in a dictionary but cannot use them properly.
Tnx a lot.

Question

Answer

When someone moves to Iran to live from another country, you would say they immigrate. On the other hand, if someone moved away from Iran to live, then say emigrate. The word migrate is more neutral (note it does not have the e- or im- prefix). It implies periodic movement, not permanent.
