Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often confuse "forsake" with the phrase "for the sake of" because they look similar. They are unrelated: "forsake" means to abandon, while "for the sake of" means "for the benefit of" or "for the purpose of." Another issue is using "forsake" in very casual contexts where "leave" or "abandon" is more natural in modern English.

Greșeală frecventă:
Learners may overuse "forsake" instead of more natural verbs like "stop," "quit," or "give up" in everyday speech. In modern English, "forsake" sounds formal or literary, so phrases like *"I forsook smoking"* are grammatically correct but unnaturally stiff in casual conversation; "I quit smoking" is more natural.
Sens
give up a belief or habit
Colocații
forsake violence
|forsake their old ways
|forsake worldly pleasures
|forsake his former life
|forsake bad habits
|forsake their traditions
Sinonime
renounce (Very close in meaning and formality; often used for public or legal rejection of beliefs or positions.)
|
give up (Much more common and informal; broader and less moral-sounding than "forsake.")
|
abandon (Can be used similarly, but is more general and less strongly associated with beliefs or lifestyles.)
Antonime
keep (To continue a habit or way of life instead of stopping it.)
|
maintain (To continue holding a belief or practice, rather than giving it up.)
