The action is typically described with a direct object in the accusative that names what is being quit, for example: abbahagyta a dohányzást (he gave up smoking) or abbahagyta a projektet (he abandoned the project). The verb can also be used with clauses, as in abbahagyja, amit elkezdett (he stops what he started).

It can be synonymous with felhagy in many contexts, though there are stylistic differences: felhagy is sometimes considered more formal or literary when referring to giving up a habit; abbahagy is widely used in colloquial speech.
