    認知: recognition or cognition. The Japanese noun '認知 (にんち)' has two distinct meanings. The first meaning is 'recognition', which refers to the acknowledgment or acceptance of something as true or valid. For example: The government's recognition of the new policy was swift「政府の新しい政策に対する認知は迅速だった」(せいふのあたらしいせいさくにたいするにんちはじんそくだった). The second meaning is 'cognition', which refers to the mental processes involved in gaining knowledge and understanding. For example: Cognitive abilities decline with age「認知能力は年齢とともに低下する」(にんちのうりょくはねんれいとともにていかする). It's important to note that '認知' is often used in formal or academic contexts, and the specific meaning can usually be inferred from the context in which it is used.

    任せる: entrust. The Japanese verb '任せる (まかせる)' means 'to entrust' or 'to leave something to someone'. It is used when you delegate a task, responsibility, or decision to another person, trusting them to handle it. This verb often implies a sense of reliance or confidence in the person being entrusted. For example: I entrusted the work to him「仕事を彼に任せた」(しごとをかれにまかせた). She left the decision to me「彼女はその決断を私に任せた」(かのじょはそのけつだんをわたしにまかせた). Note that '任せる' can also imply a sense of letting go or not interfering, as in 'I left it to fate'「運命に任せた」(うんめいにまかせた).

    刃: blade. The Japanese noun '刃 (は)' refers to the 'blade' of a knife, sword, or any cutting tool. It specifically denotes the sharp, cutting edge of such objects. This word is often used in contexts involving weapons, tools, or anything with a sharp edge. For example: the blade of the sword is sharp「刀の刃は鋭い」(かたなのははするどい). Be careful with the blade of the knife「ナイフの刃に気をつけて」(ナイフのはにきをつけて). The word can also be used metaphorically to describe something sharp or cutting in nature, though this is less common.
