French verbs
Can someone explain when to use sortir versus partir? Both verbs mean to leave. 2601:C4:C300:A210:914:5C26:8666:78B2 (talk) 20:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)


 * "Sortir" as intransitive basically means specifically "to go out"... AnonMoos (talk) 23:21, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * And "partir" is essentially "to go away". --174.95.81.219 (talk) 23:36, 17 July 2022 (UTC)
 * This explains the difference. -- Jayron 32 17:52, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
