2

stop doing or using something

To stop doing or using something that you were doing or using before.

استعمال کا انداز: to discontinue [a practice/plan/use/treatment]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "discontinue" with "cancel". "Discontinue" is usually used for things that go on over time, like treatment, use of a product, or a regular practice. "Cancel" is more common for single events, bookings, or contracts. Also avoid saying *"discontinue to use"*; say *"discontinue use"* or *"discontinue using it"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
cease (Slightly more formal and literary; often used in instructions or official notices, similar in tone to "discontinue".)
متضاد الفاظ
continue (Means to keep doing or using something, the direct opposite of stopping it.)
