  • 정지 (停止, jeongji) is used for concrete objects (e.g. people, cars), or for halts imposed externally (e.g. a revoked license, commercial activity halted due to anti-pandemic measures). 중지 (中止, jungji) cannot be used for objects, and has a stronger connotation of being voluntary or at least not forced externally (e.g. a government deciding to halt a certain program, a computer program ceasing to function).
