'Otuđiti' implies a formal, often reluctant, separation or disposal, which fits the context of divesting a struggling subsidiary better than simply 'selling' (unovčiti) or 'transferring'. 'Udomiti' means to house or adopt, which is incorrect.
In a philosophical discussion about the commodification of art, which verb best conveys the idea that an artist compromised their integrity by 'selling out' their work for commercial gain?

Which of the following phrases accurately describes the act of 'selling' a false narrative or misleading information to the public?
'Prodati maglu' is a common idiom in Serbian meaning to sell smoke or mist, which directly translates to selling false promises or misleading information.

The phrase 'prodati bubrege' metaphorically refers to selling something of immense value, often a vital organ, to acquire something else, implying a desperate or extreme sacrifice.

If a company 'proda sve svoje akcije', it implies they have sold all their assets and are likely ceasing operations.
'Prodati sve svoje akcije' means to sell all of one's shares (stocks), not necessarily all assets, and does not automatically mean the company is ceasing operations. It could be a strategic divestment.
When someone is described as 'prodaje se', it strictly means they are engaged in commercial sales activities.
While 'prodaje se' can literally mean 'it is being sold', when referring to a person as 'prodaje se' (colloquially), it often carries a negative connotation, implying they are compromising their values, integrity, or dignity for personal gain, or even engaging in prostitution. It's not strictly about commercial sales.
