زن: خوب بگو از همان جا داد بزنند و بگویند تا بشنوم.

این ترجمه منه که نمیدونم درسته یا نه
alright then ask them to shout and tell me.
what about " give me a shout?"
you know I'm looking for a good academic English here.
thank you

when someone is far from you and you have to shout so that they can hear you : you shout at them or to them? which one is correct?
is there any better word or idiom to represent this?
