How to use "rendere" in a sentence?

Question

In what context is _rendere_ most commonly used?I found the definitions "to render" and "to make" which are very different in my mind. I could think of "Il computer rende l'immagine" as an easy one. Would it ever be used like "Io ho reso una pittura"? Or would that be "Ho fatto una pittura" instead?

Answer 1

Rendere is commonly used in the phrasal verb "rendersi conto " meaning to realize or to notice. Exp:

"Ti rendi conto che ore sono?! Facciamo tardi!" or " La gente non si rende conto di quanto e' difficile la vita per certe persone".
