Explanation
上がる and 上げる are used to express completion or reaching a final state of an action or process. The intransitive 上がる focuses on the completion or culmination of something that happens or progresses, often used with projects, tasks, or conditions. The transitive 上げる emphasizes bringing something to completion by one’s own effort or action. These forms are common in workplace, project, or event contexts to convey that work has been completed, morale or prices have risen, or an activity has been carried through to the end. When used with nouns, 上がる can indicate a rising state (e.g., morale, quality) and 上げる indicates causing that rise or completion for something else.
