How to use 退出
退出 is used for leaving an organization, a competition, or a computer program or account. It usually takes a direct object, like 退出比赛 (quit the competition). Example: 我先退出账号。(Wǒ xiān tuìchū zhànghào.) I will log out of my account first.
退出 is built from 退 (tuì), to step back, and 出 (chū), to go out. You step back and go out, so you leave a group, a game, or an app.
Common mistake: Learners often write 退 (tuì) as 腿 (tuǐ, leg) or confuse it with 追 (zhuī, to chase), which shares the same walking component. Also, 退出 means quitting something you were part of. To simply walk out of a room, use 出去 (chūqù).
