-===== Core Meaning ===== +
-  * **Pinyin (with tone marks):** tuìchū +
-  * **Part of Speech:** Verb +
-  * **HSK Level:** HSK 4 +
-  * **Concise Definition:** To withdraw from, exit, or quit a group, system, competition, or organization. +
-  * **In a Nutshell:** **退出 (tuìchū)** is about formally removing yourself from an entity or a status. Think of it as "backing out" of something. It's not just about physically leaving a place, but about ending your membership, participation, or connection. Whether you're logging out of an app, dropping out of a race, or leaving a company, **退出** is the word you need. +
-===== Character Breakdown ===== +
-  * **退 (tuì):** This character means "to retreat," "to move back," or "to return." It's composed of the radical 辶 (chuò), which signifies walking or movement. Imagine a soldier retreating from a battle line—that's the core idea of **退**. +
-  * **出 (chū):** This character means "to go out" or "to exit." It's a pictogram of a foot stepping over a line or a plant sprouting from the ground. It signifies emergence or moving from inside to outside. +
-  * When combined, **退出 (tuìchū)** literally means "to retreat and exit." This powerful combination clearly conveys the idea of formally backing out of a situation or group. +
-===== Cultural Context and Significance ===== +
-While **退出 (tuìchū)** is a straightforward, functional verb, the act of "quitting" it describes can carry different cultural weight compared to the West. +
-In Western, particularly American, culture, quitting a job is often framed as a positive, proactive step—"moving on to a better opportunity" or "taking control of your career." It's highly individualistic. +
-In Chinese culture, which has stronger collectivist roots, the decision to **退出** a group (like a company or a team) can be viewed more seriously. It might be seen as a disruption to the group's harmony or a failure to endure hardship (`吃苦`, chīkǔ). While this is changing with younger generations, there can still be an underlying expectation of loyalty and a sense of responsibility to the collective you are leaving. Announcing you want to **退出** a project might require more careful explanation to ensure you don't cause others to "lose face" (`丢面子`, diū miànzi). It's less about your individual journey and more about how your departure impacts the group. +
