承担 (chéng dān) is used to express the idea of taking on a responsibility or task. For example, you could say: 他承担了这项工作 (Tā chéng dān le zhè xiàng gōngzuò; He undertook this task). It can also be used to express the idea of bearing a burden or cost, for example: 我们承担了这笔费用 (Wǒmen chéng dān le zhè bǐ fèiyòng; We shouldered this cost).
