At the friend's home: what to say to the parents, sentence 6

Leaving has its own dance: you say wǒ gāi zǒu le, they ask you to stay a bit longer, you thank them, and at the door you hear màn zǒu — «walk slowly», which really means «get home safely».

Who acts: you, homes, āyí · What happens: leave, have, say, ask, stay, thank · To what, where: own dance, wǒ le, homes, màn, door · Speech: someone speaks here
