提出
ていしゅつ
teishutsu
This word is used when handing over documents, assignments, or applications to someone in a position of authority, such as a teacher, a boss, or a government office. It implies a formal procedure or a requirement that must be fulfilled.
While the verb 出す (dasu) can also mean "to hand in," it is much more casual and general. 提出 (teishutsu) is the appropriate choice for official, academic, or professional contexts. Using 出す in a formal business report or a university thesis submission would sound overly colloquial.
In modern usage, 提出 is not limited to physical paper. It is equally applicable to digital submissions, such as uploading a file to a portal or sending an attachment via email, as long as the act constitutes a formal submission of a required document.
