<div class='writeup-body'>When used after the <span class='info-highlight' data-term='連用形・れんようけい'>conjunctive form</span> of a verb, either of the verbs 上（あ）げる 'to raise', or <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='479'>上（あ）がる</span> 'to rise' may be used. They will convey that something has been done 'to the limit'. <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='479'>上（あ）がる</span> will be used for actions that take place by themselves (intransitive), while <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='722'>上（あ）げる</span> will be used for actions that have an instigator (transitive).<br>Although 上（あ）げる and <span class='gp-popout' data-gp-id='479'>上（あ）がる</span> show that something has been done 'to the limit', the nuance is usually 'to do (A) to the point of completion', or 'to do (A) through to the end'. Therefore, the 'limit' that is being highlighted is usually a natural ending, and not due to running out of some kind of resource.
