    retain/maintain

    Hallo

    To retain an old custom
    To maintain an old custom

    Gehen beide Formulierungen, oder ist nur das Erste richtig?

    Danke, Karl

    IMHO, both are possible and correct; customs are also quite likely to be preserved.

    Agree with #1. "retain" and "maintain" don't mean exactly the same as each other, though, Karl.

    If you mean " einen alten Brauch pflegen" = to cultivate an old custom.
