formal act of quitting a position
The formal act of saying you will leave your job or position, usually in writing.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone]'s resignation from [a job/position]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "resignation" to mean "firing" or "layoff". "Resignation" is when a person chooses to leave a job; "firing" or "being laid off" is when the company makes the person leave. Learners also sometimes say *"do a resignation"* instead of "hand in/submit/tender a resignation".

formal written notice of leaving
A formal letter or email where you say you will leave your job or position.
استعمال کا انداز:
a letter of resignation to [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners often say *"resignation letter"* and treat "resignation" only as part of a phrase. This is correct, but "resignation" alone can also mean the letter itself in context. Learners also sometimes say *"I gave my boss a resign"*; the correct noun is "resignation".
ہم معنی الفاظ
notice (In work contexts, can mean a written or spoken warning that you will leave, but is less specifically formal than "resignation".)
|
resignation letter (More explicit and slightly more common phrase for the same document.)
متضاد الفاظ
contract renewal (A document or agreement to continue in a job, opposite of announcing that you will leave.)

calm acceptance of the unavoidable
A quiet, often sad feeling that you must accept something bad because you cannot change it.
استعمال کا انداز:
with resignation; a feeling of resignation
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this emotional sense with leaving a job. In sentences like "He spoke with resignation," it does not mean he is quitting; it means he is calmly accepting something bad. Also, some learners mistakenly use *"resignated"* as an adjective; the correct form is "resigned" ("He sounded resigned").
ہم معنی الفاظ
acceptance (More general; may be neutral or positive, while "resignation" usually suggests something unwanted.)
|
fatalism (More philosophical; suggests belief that all events are fixed by fate, not just passive acceptance.)
متضاد الفاظ
defiance (Shows active refusal to accept something, the opposite attitude of passive resignation.)
|
resistance (Emphasizes fighting against a situation instead of quietly accepting it.)

formal conceding of a chess game
In chess, the act of saying you lose the game and stop playing before you are checkmated.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone]'s resignation in [a game]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not realize that in chess, "resignation" is the normal word for formally giving up a lost game. It is not used for simply walking away from the board or quitting in anger, which would be called "forfeiting".
ہم معنی الفاظ
concession (General sports/game term for admitting defeat; less specific to chess than "resignation".)
متضاد الفاظ
checkmate (Not a direct opposite in attitude, but an alternative way for a game to end in defeat instead of by resigning.)
