to dedicate, to devote (time, effort); to dedicate (a book)

Looks like

to dedicate

to devote time/effort to; to inscribe to someone

⚠️ The trap

Good match. The reflexive 'dedicarsi a' = 'to devote oneself to' is very common in Italian. English learners sometimes forget this reflexive form and omit 'si'.

To say "to devote time/effort to; to inscribe to someone" in Italian:

dedicare

"dedicare" in English means:

to dedicate, to devote (time, effort); to dedicate (a book)

Example

"Dedica più tempo allo studio."

"Dedicate more time to studying."
