How to say "Manage" in Japanese

When translating "manage" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between 取り計らう and こぎつける. In Japanese, 取り計らう (とりはからう (torihakarau)) is typically associated with "to manage, to arrange, to deal with, to take care of" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Means to handle a situation or arrange matters appropriately, often on behalf of someone else or with careful consideration of the circumstances. Implies a sense of responsibility and discretion.. On the other hand, こぎつける (こぎつける (kogitsukeru)) maps to "to manage to arrive, to make it, to get through, to reach (a goal)" (Syllabus Level: N2) and represents Means to manage to reach a destination or achieve a goal despite difficulties, often implying a struggle or effort.. A literal translation of "manage" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
