Quit in Malayalam
കടക്കുക (kadakkuka) is the verb for clearing out of a place, and in the imperative it is a blunt get out; it also carries cross over and transgress. അകലുക (akaluka) is to move away, to put distance between, and is as much about people drifting apart as about leaving a room. Both match quit only in the sense of leaving.
Enter, go away, transgress, quit, run away, slip away.
സൂക്ഷിച്ച് റോഡ് കടക്കണം.
sookshichu rod kadakkanam.
You must cross the road carefully.

How do you say quit in Malayalam?
For leaving a place, കടക്കുക (kadakkuka); for withdrawing or distancing yourself, അകലുക (akaluka). Neither works for quitting employment.
