I'm quitting. I give up. And this is how you can too. (@UNITED24media )

I'm quitting YouTube.

I'm going to pack it in and go live on a farm.

Lately...

I see so many YouTubers quitting and I get it.

It's hard. It's a difficult job.

And I understand.

And maybe it's time for me to quit too.

I don't know.

How should I say this?

I quit.

I give up, I surrender it.

Wave the white flag.

Today we're learning different ways to say I quit

in English

Obviously, a quick way is I give up now.

This is the most common way to say I quit,

but we'll come back to that one later.

if your is rubbish, you might want to say, I hate this job, I hate it here,

I hate you and your face. I quit.

I quit is to direct can sound aggressive.

This is more when you're angry at your boss or your job.

Sometimes, yes, you need that.

But in your job you might want to not burn bridges.

So if you need a more calm, more formal way

to say I quit with your job, say this.

I'm resigning.

Now, this is very formal, but it's also quite epic.

It sounds like you've worked at the job for like 50 years.

So if you're quitting a small job or a part time job,

it's much more common to say am handing in my notice.

Your notice is the time period between saying I quit and your last day

in that job.

You don't have to physically give your boss

something like a piece of paper explaining when your last date is and why.

If you just say the words,

I just wanted to let you know that I'm giving you my two weeks notice.

This is a very formal way to quit a smaller job, again, like a part time job.

If it's a bigger job, put that in an email here in England

you'll notice period is usually around two weeks.

If it's a part time job or if you have a contracted

salaried job, it's usually at least a month.

But it varies job.

The job But maybe you want to quit for life.

Not just that job.

You never want to work again.

Then you need the verb to retire.

Hey, I'm retiring next month.

Just thought you should know.

I don't know about your country, but I'm curious to know

what age do you think you'll retire?

I think in England,

I don't think my generation will be able to retire.

I think we're screwed, my generation and lower.

We're working until our dying day for sure.

so that pretty much covers quitting a job in a business formal context.

But we also need casual context to what if,

for example, you go into a building

and you see or hear a ghost and you're like, Absolutely.

No, I'm leaving.

a very Gen Z term to say I quit this situation

very quickly and immediately is to know out of something the situation.

For example, I knocked out of the house because I saw a ghost again,

though this is a very Gen Z, so it's a very new term.

Older generations don't use it might not even have ever heard of it.

Not sure. now? This is casual.

Could you use this in a relationship you go in a date

and on your first date they tell you, Hey, by the way, I'm married.

So that that happened to me once.

And yes, I knocked out of their Okay.

Keeping on the romantic topic.

Other ways you could quit a relationship.

Chip.

Let's see.

To break up with someone, that's the most common thing to say.

For example, she told me she was married to a ghost,

so I broke up with her But, yeah, if the decision is mutual.

I don't like you. You don't like me?

Fine.

They broke up.

There's no object. You don't need one.

You can say they broke up with each other, but that's long enough necessary.

So don't say that.

When was your last breakup?

Who broke up with who?

a good synonym for quit is relinquish.

I love this word.

Reelin queef sounds so fake.

like a CEO in a company.

He relinquished his role at the company.

Even then, it might just be more common

to say, step down, use that phrase or verb.

It's way more common, way more useful for you to use.

So an example we could use is when do you think Elon

Musk will step down from just everything?

Just just go.

or a question for you?

If your boss steps down, will you then run the company?

Or is it someone else? Who is this person?

Let's hate them together until you run the company.

there also very British terms as well.

Like I hate my job.

I'm going to pack it in and go live on a farm.

to pack it in.

Now, yes, it says pack it in, but we don't change the it.

It's always pack it in.

It's a fixed expression.

This is used when you've had enough of something.

You're very bored.

You want no more of this thing.

Usually a job.

again, it sounds very negative.

So don't use this with your boss.

Just stick to.

I'm handing in my notice to call it

a day is a really good, useful, common one to use.

and this is less permanent when you are literally finished

for the day on any task,

you want to say, okay, today, no more.

Maybe tomorrow or next week we'll continue.

But for today, no, we're finished.

Okay. The meeting's finally finished.

I'm going to call it a day tomorrow.

It's only 1130, though.

What is the difference between give up and give? In?

Most of the time they mean the same thing.

They're pretty much synonymous.

But there is a difference.

To give up is more general.

It's just saying I quit, no more of whatever this is, now.

This puzzles too hard.

I give up but give in implies that there is a force against you,

Like remember

when you were young and your older sister would like grab your arm and just go?

Why are you getting yourself okay, I give in, so it's

like you're in a fight with something, not necessarily a person.

if you want to say a situation is giving you resistance like,

could be your

studies, could be the people at your job.

Anything that pushes against you, you want to say, No, I surrender.

I give in.

Surrender is on next. What?

In our next context for military contexts, Yes, surrender is great.

And we even have an idiom for this to wave the white flag.

You definitely have this in your language to write and.

no real talk.

I've had to film this a few times because it's very difficult

for me to get serious with you because usually everything's such a joke.

But not today. Today's a bit different.

We all know what's happening in Ukraine right now, and Putin

has this election coming up, which he will win.

And there's a very good chance that

if he wins, he'll conscript more Russian public

to go fight in Ukraine, But why am I talking about this?

Well, when I check the analytics of my channel, which is the details of who

watch is the age, the country, the languages

across crazy number comes from Russia.

So there's a very, very good chance that some of you watching me now

will be conscripted to go fight in Ukraine.

I don't want you to die.

So with the help of United 24, who helped me make this video,

all their links are in the description of this video.

I never thought I'd have to.

This is such a weird thing to say, but if you are one of those people

who gets conscripted to go fight in Ukraine, please give up.

Please surrender as soon as you're there.

Surrender. Wave that white flag. Give up.

Because you know what the alternative is.

and as ridiculous as this feels to say,

here are the steps that you need to take in order to give up.

If you are conscripted to go fight in Ukraine.

So of course I'm not quitting YouTube now.

Probably never.
