\"Departures<\/p>\n

I learned today that there are several words for leave<\/strong> in Danish, so I thought I’d investigate.<\/p>\n

Forlade<\/strong> means to leave, abandon, depart, forsake, quit, desert or vacate. For example: Elvis har forladt bygningen<\/em> (Elvis has left the building). <\/p>\n

Afrejse<\/strong> means to leave, depart or departure. For example, Jeg afrejse i morgen<\/em> (I’m leaving tomorrow). Is this different from forlade<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Efterlade<\/strong> means to leave or leave behind, for example: Vi forlod Elvis i bygningen<\/em> (We left Elvis in the building).<\/p>\n

Overlade<\/strong> means to leave or entrust. For example: Overlad sangen til Elvis<\/em> (Leave the singing to Elvis). <\/p>\n

L\u00f8slade<\/strong> means to release, let, free, leave, allow. For example, L\u00f8slad Elvis nu!<\/em> (Release Elvis now!).<\/p>\n

Lade<\/strong> on its own means to let, allow, reload; or shed, shack or barn.<\/p>\n

Do other languages have different words for different kinds of leaving?<\/p>\n
