Translation
quit
Definition
To quit means to stop doing something, especially a job or an activity, often voluntarily. It is commonly used in contexts like leaving a position of employment, ending a habit, or exiting a program or game. For example, someone might quit their job to pursue a new career, or quit smoking for health reasons. The word can also be used informally to mean 'stop it' as a command. This meaning is the most frequent and straightforward for learners, though 'quit' can also mean 'to leave a place' (archaic) or 'to be free of' (rare).
