Answer 1

Ok, so I'm certainly not undermining anyone's previous responses, but I double checked the translator and dictionary for the word "quit" to ensure you would have the oppurtunity to find the right answer and searching with "I quit" or "quit" won't do the trick in this case. Try looking into "I give up" in the translator. I would provide a link but because of the space in the link it won't allow me.

Personally, I almost always research before posting, unless I just have no idea. Then I punt and ask for help, so that in the process of searching, I don´t embed totally wrong methods in my head, which I can´t readily forget later. - rogspax, Dec 17, 2012

Understand. I glanced too, and decided it didn´t look like one well handled by the online translator, so I offered the one instance I knew. - rogspax, Dec 17, 2012

It was a good one rog. Note: "I'm certainly not undermining anyone's previous responses." ;-P - DJ_Huero, Dec 17, 2012

Answer 2

I think you are being too picky for just a simple answer. I'm quite positive that the OP is not coming back anyway after what he got, but I'll still give mine.

I quit: as a general statement, you can just say "me rindo".

Like for example: I'm tired. I quit.

"Estoy cansado. Me rindo."

Just as equally common answer would be, "Estoy harto, me doy por vencido." =) - DJ_Huero, Dec 17, 2012

Well I´m glad you posted, regardless of the OP, as I learned something from it. Now I´m going to go surf for the infinitive. Cheers! - rogspax, Dec 17, 2012

Answer 3

When I'm tired of doing something I say. "Ya, no (puedo hacer) más."

Answer 4

If it is to stop doing something, one method to express it is dejar plus infinitive.

To quit running. Dejar de correr. To quit doing something. Dejar de hacer algo.

I don´t know if there´s a good general one, that could be used in place of every English meaning of quit.

Look at Quit under the translate dictionary here and look at its various sublistings, and you´ll get a better idea.
