How to say "Give" in Japanese

When translating "give" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 見限る and 思い切る. In Japanese, 見限る (みかぎる (mikagiru)) is typically associated with "to give up on, to abandon, to despair of" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents To decide that someone or something is hopeless, worthless, or beyond redemption, and to stop expecting anything positive from them. It often implies a final and decisive abandonment.. On the other hand, 思い切る (おもいきる (omoikiru)) maps to "to give up; to abandon; to make a final decision; to make a clean break" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Implies making a bold decision to abandon something or to take a decisive action, often after much hesitation. Can also mean to give up entirely.. A literal translation of "give" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
