B2 Expression 격식체

sich einer Sache annehmen

take care of something

To deal with or attend to a matter.

🌍

문화적 배경

The phrase reflects the German value of 'Dienstleistung' (service) and 'Verlässlichkeit' (reliability). In a professional context, using this phrase is seen as a sign of high competence. In Austria, the phrase is also common in formal settings, but might be accompanied by more 'Höflichkeitsfloskeln' (polite phrases). Swiss German speakers use this in High German contexts (like formal writing), while in Swiss German dialect, they would use simpler forms like 'luege für' (look for/after). In the 'Startup' world in Berlin, this phrase might be seen as too 'old school' or 'corporate'. Younger teams prefer 'Ich rocke das' or 'Ich kümmere mich'.
