"Get rid Off" means: Throwing something away; discarding something.
i.e. I would tell you to "get rid off" that fruit, it smells or (2) you need to discard the fruit, it smells. (3) Make sure you "get rid off" that suit, it's too old.
Does it makes sense now? Please let know.

You "get rid of" something you don't need anymore. Also, I believe it's "get rid of" and not "get rid off".

Hi;
that's not get rid off,actually that's get rid of and it means be free of something.for example when you say: "I wanna get rid of my cat" ,this means your cat botters you and you dont want it anymore.

hi Jbaddoo
In my idea get rid of sth doesnt mean throwing sth away,in some situations when you wanna get rid of sth you cant throw it away.

Hi Honey,

You can get rid of something by giving that thing away. Like in the case of your cat.
Yes, you are somewhat right. Please know that you can also discard something by "getting rid of" it.

Mr. Torsten, can you please help explain to us better?

Thank you,
Joycelyn

Yes Joycelyn,

When you get rid of something you throw it away or discard it. If you get rid of an employee you fire them.

Typo alert! You need to get rid of one F there, Torsten. Wink

The title of the thread and the original thread question contain the same typo. Joycelyn and Honey have noticed this as well.
(Unfortunately, most spell checkers don't catch this sort of error.)
