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 maybe it's time for me to quit too.
Today we're learning different ways to say I quit
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.
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
You don't have to physically give your boss
something like a piece of paper explaining when your last date is and why.
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.
The job But maybe you want to quit for life.
Then you need the verb to retire.
I don't know about your country, but I'm curious to know
what age do you think you'll retire?
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.
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.
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.
There's no object. You don't need one.
You can say they broke up with each other, but that's long enough necessary.
a good synonym for quit is relinquish.
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?
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.
I'm going to pack it in and go live on a farm.
Now, yes, it says pack it in, but we don't change the it.
This is used when you've had enough of something.
You want no more of this thing.
again, it sounds very negative.
So don't use this with your boss.
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
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.
What is the difference between give up and give? In?
Most of the time they mean the same thing.
They're pretty much synonymous.
It's just saying I quit, no more of whatever this is, now.
I give up but give in implies that there is a force against you,
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,
studies, could be the people at your job.
Anything that pushes against you, you want to say, No, I surrender.
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.
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.
So with the help of United 24, who helped me make this video,
all their links are in the description of this video.
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.
This is my job and I love it so much.
And I'm so grateful to each and every one of you
for studying with me, for sharing my videos all through these years.
And I hope that you, your friends and all your English studying buddies
study with me for many years to come
and I'll see you in the next class by
So of course, I'm not quitting YouTube.
I'm going to be here for a long time and I hope you will study with me
