Meaning and Usage

"脱退" (だったい) means to leave or withdraw from an organization, group, or association. It is often used in formal or official contexts such as clubs, political parties, or international organizations.

Common Contexts

You will see 脱退 used when someone leaves a club, a political party, or a country withdraws from an international treaty or organization. It implies a formal or official separation rather than a casual or temporary absence.

Collocations and Patterns

  • 脱退する: to withdraw or secede
  • 脱退理由: reason for withdrawal
  • 脱退届 (だったいとどけ): a formal notice of withdrawal

Register and Nuance

This word is formal and often appears in news reports, official statements, or legal documents. It is not used for casual leaving, such as quitting a job informally or leaving a party early.

Common Mistakes

Learners sometimes confuse 脱退 with 退会 (たいかい), which also means leaving a group but is more commonly used for clubs or memberships and is less formal. 脱退 carries a stronger nuance of official or political withdrawal.
