Usage notes
- For quitting a job, Italians usually say "dimettersi". "Rassegnare le dimissioni" is more formal, common in news, business, and official contexts.
- Often used with nouns: "rassegnare le dimissioni", "rassegnare un mandato", "rassegnare un ricorso". Less common alone in everyday speech.
- Do not confuse with reflexive "rassegnarsi" = to accept reluctantly. Different meaning and much more common in conversation.
