B1🔤 Letters I & L
Italian word
incarico
task, assignment, appointment, position
Looks like
in charge
in charge = responsible for something
⚠️ The trap
'Incarico' = a task, role, or official position entrusted to someone. 'Dare un incarico a qualcuno' = 'to assign a task to someone'. It is NOT the phrase 'in charge'. 'Essere incaricato di' = 'to be assigned to / tasked with'. 'Chi è il responsabile?' = 'Who is in charge?'
To say "in charge = responsible for something" in Italian:
incarico (task/assignment); responsabile (person in charge)
"incarico" in English means:
task, assignment, appointment, position
Example
"Mi hanno affidato un incarico importante."
"I have been entrusted with an important assignment."
