にする (nisuru)

Turn or choose something to be (noun/na-adj)

Meaning & usage

にする expresses deciding on something or turning something into a particular state or choice. It is used when ordering food, picking an option, or settling what something will become. It follows a noun or a na-adjective stem, as in ピザにする or 静かにする, and する conjugates normally for tense and politeness, such as にします or にしよう. It describes a deliberate decision, so it is different from になる, which describes a natural change.
