What does "Make life of" mean? As a native English speaker, I don't understand it; I presume it means "Make life better for", though the closest we have in English is probably "Make light of", which means something completely different (and is slightly funny in this context).
- hyperpape 11y ago"Make the life of", I presume.
- DougWebb 11y agoHe means "Make the life of people..." in each case. The phrasing without "the" sounds to me like Powerpoint-Speak... leaving out minor words in order to fit more bullets onto a slide. Those minor words are usually grammatically necessary, but in the context of a slide presentation the presenter's verbal part of the presentation clarifies ambiguities in the visual part.
- bshimmin 11y agoAh, thank you, you must be right. "Make life better for people..." would in each case have been grammatical and slightly more comprehensible to me!
