Hola Shirley S

Great question! In this sentence, "ya" conveys a sense of reassurance or confidence. The phrase "ya me las apañaré" can be translated as "Don't worry, I'll manage somehow" or "I'll figure it out". Here, "ya" emphasizes that the speaker is confident they will find a way to handle the situation, even if the exact details are not clear yet.

This usage of "ya" is quite common in Spanish to imply certainty or inevitability about something happening or being resolved.

Espero que esto te ayude.

¡Gracias por preguntar! 😊

Saludos

Silvia
