Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Life"

A:

Knock ‘em, sock ‘em robots were a type of toy from I think the 1980s or maybe 1990s. Anyway, they were robots which would fight with each other. If I remember correctly they were very cheap and not very good.

A:

The message "I love you so much. You've changed my life forever." doesn't necessarily imply "goodbye." It seems to express strong emotions and sentiments of love/appreciation. But, him suddenly logging out after sending the message could indicate:

He might have been having tech issues/lost connection.

He could have been busy

He might have felt overwhelmed by the emotions he expressed and needed a moment to process everything, as stepping away can give clarity.

So, the message itself isn’t really the concern per se; it’s the sudden logging out that can be concerning, and you should reach out to get some clarity, or finish the conversation.

A: Fickle means someone who easily changes their minds, ideas or wants; someone who is not constant.

A: I just want to start my reply by saying I hope you are doing well!

‘Take their own lives’ is a euphemism (polite term) referring to killing oneself; or committing suicide.

More examples of euphemisms:
- instead of saying ‘Jane died’ you would say ‘Jane passed away’.

- instead of saying ‘Jane was recently fired’ you would say ‘Jane is between jobs’. ‘Between jobs’ is a common euphemism for ‘unemployed’.

So by saying ‘they take their own lives’ is just a less harsh way of saying that ‘they killed themselves’.

A: Living life on the edge, on a tightrope, is an idiomatic expression that means to live in a risky or dangerous way, taking chances and pushing the limits. It implies that one is constantly balancing between success and failure, with very little room for error. The phrase originates from the circus act of tightrope walking, where performers walk along a thin rope suspended high above the ground.

A: Question:
How’s life?
How’s it going?
What’s up?
What’s new?
How are you doing?
Alright?
How’s tricks? (Very informal English that some people might not know)
What’s the craic? (Pronounced “crack”, from Irish, also very informal).

Typical English (UK) answers. All of these should be ended with either “How about you?”, “And you”, or simply “You?”.
Not bad, (you?)
Alright
Fine
Not too bad
Good

Etcetera

A: Remove “the” and add “is”

A: Come to life isn’t really a phrase. Most people say this in the past tense: came to life.

Example: The girl really came to life when she was dancing. She went from being quiet and reserved to dancing center stage with all eyes on her.

A: "life today is MUCH harder due to self-serving politicians"

A: "She was holding onto her mother for dear life"
It's an expression that basically means "holding on really tightly to something or someone."

A: a life belt is a belt that you wear so you won't sink. the other option is a life jacket which also floats and fits over your shoulders. I have never heard of a life buoy.

A: life jacket

A: ああ、「lifetime employment」というつもりでしたか？ａbｃさんの漢字の幾つかわからなかったんですから、翻訳して「lifetime employment」が来ました

A: The first one implies that she’s alive and still lives there. The second one implies that she’s now dead

A: The second sentence's redundant -- "more easier", it should just be "easier". Although the meaning of both sentences is quite vague. Could you tell me what you would like to impart with the sentence?

A: The subject is singular, yes. There is no object in this sentence. Because the subject is singular (life), everything else is singular as well. The singular of ‘jokes’ is ‘joke’. In this sentence, it would be ‘a joke’ because joke is a noun and cannot make sense without ‘a’. :)

A: I think it sounds fine. I've had people say it to me many times and it's a deeply beautiful phrase. It reminds me to enjoy the life I have right now and not to worry about the past or future. It speaks to the heart and I think it fits very well.

A: Life alone is more for description.
Life is too short to take things too seriously.
I'm enjoying life to the fullest.

A: Since buying it, my life and my lips have changed forever. Burt’s Bees is my favorite thing in the world!!!

A: the first one is the most natural

A: Grammatically speaking, you must say: "...to each his own. (not: to each their own)."

A: Yes, you can say "I wonder if there was life beyond the Earth." However, the use of "was" suggests a past tense scenario, which might imply you are specifically referring to a historical context. If you are expressing curiosity about the possibility of life beyond Earth in a more general or speculative sense, using "would be" might be more appropriate:

"I wonder if there would be life beyond the Earth."

A: If you are "downwind from a pet store", that means the wind is blowing pet store smells toward you. If the wind is coming from the south, and the pet store is to the south of you, you are downwind from the pet store.

The wind keeps changing of course, so she just means "close enough a pet store that you can smell it"

No one lives there "by choice". That means no one chooses to live there. If they can find another place to live, they will move.

A: Yes, your sentences are natural, but I'll add a few adjustments for clarity ~

"His life was always a series of adventures and challenges. When he took his first step, he didn't expect that his journey would become so vast."

A: × I live my whole life in Seoul.
✓ I’ve lived my whole life in Seoul.

× I live my entire life in Seoul.
✓ I’ve lived my entire life in Seoul.

Both mean the same thing.
