To "contend with" something means to face, handle, or struggle against a difficulty, problem, or opposing force. It often implies that the situation is challenging and requires effort, resilience, or strategic thinking. You can contend with practical issues, such as financial problems or technical obstacles, as well as abstract ones, like doubts, fears, or competition. The phrase suggests active engagement rather than passive acceptance: you acknowledge the issue and work to overcome or manage it. It is frequently used in both everyday language and more formal contexts to describe coping with adversity or rivalry.
