【無くす】と【失くす】はどう違いますか??
What's the difference in use for these two kanji?
If I said 'I lost my umbrella.'would it be '傘を無くしました' or '傘を失くしました'?
Thanks in advance!

It's 無くす, but it's often written in Hiragana なくす actually.
無くす is for one's personal effects such as 傘, wallet, smartphone, key, glasses.
無 itself means "nothing", so 無くす has like a "vanish" nuance.
It feels like things that once have existed disappeared in front of your sight.
失くす rather said/written 失う, is used for abstract things such as a position, title, approval rate, or important things other than one's personal effects that you can carry with you such as property, house, a lover or friend, people important to you.
This kanji 失 has a "lost" nuance more than 無.
