| Phrase | to make do |
| Text | The phrase "to make do," in this podcast, means to be satisfied with what is available, even though it isn't everything that one wants, and to manage with limited resources: "This apartment isn't really big enough for a family of seven, but we'll have to make do, because we can't afford anything bigger." The phrase "to make up" means to use one's imagination: "How did you make up such a fun, creative game?" The phrase "to make up" also means to end an argument and repair a relationship with someone: "Just buy your wife some flowers and say you're sorry so that you two can make up." Finally, the phrase "to make (something) out" means to barely be able to see or hear something: "The phone connection is so poor, I can barely make out what you're saying." |
