Hey, what's up guys? Welcome to another episode of RealLife TV. I'm Chad, I'm here hanging
out in the jungle here, we got a wild animal just hanging out there. Say what's up to Portala,
one of Justin's cats, and today I'm going to present you guys with and awesome lesson,
I'm going to give you guys some new vocabulary and that is some alternative ways to use the
word MAKE. Aww Yeah!!
So the first word I'm going to teach you guys is MAKE UP. So you guys probably already know
the word makeup when it's used for painting your face like women wear makeup.
Some men wear makeup but it's not as common, but hey, we don't judge, if you are a man who wears
makeup, it's all good. And another way we can use this word make up is as a phrasal
verb to make something up to someone. So if I make something up to someone that generally
means I'm compensating for something bad that I have done so let's say I missed my friend's
birthday, I forgot to call my friends and I was like hey man, I'm really sorry, let
me make it up to you by buying you dinner, let me make it up to you. That means that
I'm trying to make the situation better. Another way to use make up would be to invent.
So let's say someone is telling you a story that you think that maybe they are inventing
the story or even lying you could say hey, are you making that up? Are you inventing
that story? Is that real? So that is to make something up, to invent something.
Ok, let's move on to make out. So one really common way to use the verb to make out would
be to kiss and make out with someone. You see this on a lot of American TV shows, people
are making out which just means that they are kissing each other, sometimes it has sexual
connotations, you never know, but that is one way to use it as a verb, to make out with
someone. Have you made out with anyone recently? Another way would be to see if someone was
successful in whatever they were doing. So if a friend of yours had a job interview and
he was really nervous about it, afterwards you could say, "hey buddy how did you make
out at the job interview?" This means how did you go, was it successful? was it good?
was it bad? How did you make out at the job interview?
And another way to use this phrasal verb would be when somebody explains something as kind
of hard, but it wasn't really that hard. I can say, you know it wasn't as hard as he
made it out to be, or it wasn't as difficult as that guy made it out to be. So that means
that you did something that someone told you would be very difficult but through your experience,
it wasn't really that difficult. It's not as hard as people make it out to be. English
is not as hard as you may make it out to be, I hope.
