How to say "Entrust" in Japanese

When translating "entrust" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 任せる and 委託. In Japanese, 任せる (まかせる (makaseru)) is typically associated with "to entrust to; to leave to; to let (someone) do; to rely on" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Refers to delegating work, tasks, decisions, or one's entire future to someone else to take care of. Often used as 後は任せる or 人に任せる. ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'To entrust! "I am entrusting my whole future and happy life to you, Haruka-san!" ...っ! T-To entrust your life to me! B-Baka! Don't make such absolute, heavy declarations! But... since you rely on me so much, I suppose... I will protect and cherish your life inside my heart forever! dummy!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『まかせる（任せる）わよ！『ハルカ部長、僕のこれからの全人生の操縦桿（ハンドル）を、あなたに丸ごと任せます！』って…っ！人生の操縦権の委託！バカ！/// そんな重大な決断を私に預けるなんて！…でも、任されたからには、世界一幸せな目的地に向かって、あんたを一生私の助手席に固定してナビゲートしてあげるわ！』. On the other hand, 委託 (いたく (itaku)) maps to "entrust; commission" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents 業務や資産などを「第三者に任せる」というフォーマルな状況で使われます。Used in formal situations to mean 'entrusting' tasks or assets to a third party.. A literal translation of "entrust" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
