What's the difference between verlassen / aufgeben / im Stich lassen / zurücklassen / loslassen / aufhören
abandon — to leave something or someone completely
Means to give up or stop trying. It is close to "abandon" in some contexts, but more often refers to quitting an effort, goal, or struggle than leaving a person or place.
Er wollte das Projekt nicht aufgeben, obwohl es schwierig war.
Он не хотел бросать проект, хотя это было трудно.
Means to let someone down or leave them unsupported in a difficult situation. It is used mainly for people and carries a strong sense of betrayal or failure to help.
Er hat seinen Freund im Stich gelassen, als dieser Hilfe brauchte.
Он бросил своего друга, когда тому нужна была помощь.
Means to leave behind or leave somewhere. It is more neutral and often describes physically leaving a person, object, or place rather than emotionally abandoning someone.
Sie musste ihre Sachen im Hotel zurücklassen.
Ей пришлось оставить свои вещи в гостинице.
Means to let go, literally or figuratively. Figuratively, it can mean to stop holding on to a person, memory, or idea, but it is not exactly the same as abandoning someone.
Manchmal muss man alte Erwartungen loslassen.
Иногда нужно отпустить старые ожидания.
Means to stop or cease. It is the most general and neutral option in the list, but it does not express leaving someone or something completely in the way "abandon" does.
