what does t mean
Hello!!
What does the phrase "go to" mean. I found it in 'Hamlet' . It is not a part of a sentence. It is used as a sentence itself.
Can you tell me if it has a special meaning in shakespearan english?
Thanks in advance.

Hello Bubu I believe it's an exclamation or ***********. I've seen it described as an abbreviated oath ("go to the devil"); though I don't know how true that is. MrP

Hi,
There is a very, very large number of expressions made up of 'go' + a preposition.
This one is an archaic exclamation that expresses surprise, impatience, or protest. A modern, slangy way of saying it might be 'Get out of here!'
My thought, without research, is it perhaps comes from a longer sentence that might be something like 'Go to
