〜にする

About

The ～にする pattern is one of the most common ways to discuss decisions in Japanese. As opposed to ～に決きめる, ～にする tends to be used for more trivial decisions, rather than important ones. As opposed to ～になる, ～にする represents an active decision, made by the speaker or main subject.

To use ～にする, simply attach it to a noun. This then becomes the noun that is being decided upon.
