Elocution Experts

In many local conversations, people say:
“I am coming”
when they actually mean they are leaving briefly and will return soon.
However, in standard English, “I am coming” usually means: the speaker is moving towards the listener, not away.
So if you are stepping away and plan to return, more natural expressions are:
✅ “I’ll be back.”
✅ “I’m coming back.”
✅ “I’ll return shortly.”
