Also means
to quit
Usage Note
Quitter requires a direct object — you quitter a person or place (quitter la maison, quitter quelqu'un). To say 'don't hang up' on the phone, French speakers say ne quittez pas. Do not confuse with partir, which is intransitive ('to depart').
Examples
"Elle a quitté la ville hier soir."
Natural Translation
She left the city last night.
