GENERAL INFO
"Laisser" is a verb meaning "to leave" (an object behind), "to let," or "to allow."
USAGE
It's commonly used for leaving an object somewhere (e.g., "J'ai laissé mon sac à la maison" - I left my bag at home) or allowing/letting someone do something (e.g., "Il m'a laissé partir" - He let me go). It can also mean "to leave" a mark or impression.
TRAPS
Don't confuse "laisser" with "quitter" (to leave a person or a place permanently) or "partir" (to depart, to leave a place oneself). "Laisser" implies leaving something or someone *behind*, or giving permission.
