The Chinese word 担任 (dān rèn) is composed of two characters: 担 (dān) and 任 (rèn). The character 担 originally meant "to carry on the shoulder" or "to bear a burden". It is often used in the sense of "to undertake" or "to take on a responsibility". The character 任 originally meant "to appoint" or "to entrust". It is often used in the sense of "to hold a position" or "to be in charge of".When the two characters are combined to form 担任, the meaning becomes "to take on a responsibility" or "to hold a position". It can also be used in the sense of "to be in charge of" or "to be responsible for". For example, the sentence 他担任了经理的职位 (tā dān rèn le jīng lǐ de zhí wèi) means "He took on the position of manager".The word 担任 is commonly used in both spoken and written Chinese. It is an important word to know for HSK learners, as it is used in a variety of contexts.
