italki – chill out vs hang out i would like to know the differnce between : i am chilling at home i am chilli

The word “chilling” usually mean your at a relaxed state. For Example, if you would ask me, “what’s up” = How are you. I would answer like this, “Nothing. Just chilling.” Meaning I am not really doing anything of significance, just letting the time past by. Whereas “Hanging Out” implies that I am doing something usually with other people. So if I say, “I am hanging out at the mall.” Its taken as you are “proactive” or doing something. But if I say I’m chilling at the mall. It can be taken as I’m just at the mall not really do much.

I am chilling at home. ( You are at home not really doing anything, maybe your even bored.)
I am chilling out home. ( Doesn’t really make any sense.)
I am hanging out “AT” home. ( When you say this usually someone is with you and you are doing something like video games.
I am hanging around home. ( This makes sense but it usually isn’t said. It means your just at your house or around it probably doing nothing.)

REMEBER: Chilling is a slang word.
