退社する

• 読み: たいしゃする
• ローマ字: taisha suru
• 漢字の分解: 退 (tai) — retreat, withdraw; 社 (sha) — company, shrine
• 発音: /ta.i.ɕa.sɯ.ɾɯ/

意味

To leave the office; to go home from work. Can also mean to resign from a company depending on context.

A suru-verb with two distinct meanings: leaving the office at the end of a workday, or permanently leaving a company (resigning). Context determines which meaning is intended. The daily 'going home' sense is contrasted with 出社する (shussha suru, to come to the office). The resignation sense is similar to 退職する (taishoku suru, to retire/resign), though 退職 is more common for formal resignation.

例文

1. 今日は定時に退社するつもりだ。
2. 上司より先に退社するのは少し気が引ける。
3. 彼は毎日五時に退社して習い事に通っている。
