Take on in Korean 🇰🇷

인하다 info.

Tips to Remember:
• The verb “인하다” (in-ha-da) is a Sino-Korean word. Think of the Chinese character 任 which means “to assume” or “to take on” responsibilities. Imagine “taking on” a task as “assuming” it just like inheriting a responsibility.
• Associate the sound “인” with “in” (as in “in charge”) to help recall its meaning.
