Meaning of HANDLE IT - A Really Short English Lesson with Subtitles

So in English when we say that someone is able to "handle it" when they're able to "handle

Entonces, en inglés, cuando decimos que alguien es capaz de "manejarlo", cuando es capaz de "manejar

something" it means that we believe that they are capable of doing it.

algo", significa que creemos que es capaz de hacerlo.

If I say, "I think he can handle it."

Si digo, "Creo que él puede manejarlo".

It means that I think he is able to do the thing that we're talking about.

Significa que creo que es capaz de hacer lo que estamos hablando.

So let's think of an example.

Así que pensemos en un ejemplo.

Maybe someone at work has been in charge of one or two people and you want to put them

Tal vez alguien en el trabajo ha estado a cargo de una o dos personas y usted quiere ponerlo

in charge of ten people.

a cargo de diez personas.

You only want to do that if you think that they can handle it, if you think that they

Solo quieres hacer eso si crees que pueden manejarlo, si

are capable of doing it, if you think that they are able to do it.

crees que son capaces de hacerlo, si crees que pueden hacerlo.

So to handle it means that you are able to do that thing.

Así que manejarlo significa que eres capaz de hacer eso.
