look after yourself / someone / something
1 to be responsible (итгэх, найдах) for or to take care of someone or something

What's the difference between "Take Care Of" and "Look After"?
- If I say "take care of a person" or "look after a person", it usually means the same thing, to provided care over a period for a person.
It is not always true, however.
"Take care of a person" can also be used to mean providing a resolution(шийдвэрлэлт) to a person's request or problem. It implies(илэрхийлэх) a short term solution.
"This customer has a request concerning(сонирхох) the new computer. Could you please take care of them."
In this case the person being spoken to is being asked to give advice or short-term help to the costumer, not provide care.
Sometimes you will hear "look after" in this regard, but not as often.
You would also "take care" (resolve(шийдвэрлэх)) a problem.
Again, there is considerable(үлэмжхэн) overlap(давхцал) here, so you would not be guilty of some huge error if you interchanged the two,.
