means of earning a living
The way someone gets money and basic things for life, usually from a job or business.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone]'s livelihood
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "livelihood" with "life" or "lifestyle." "Life" is about being alive in general, and "lifestyle" is how someone lives (habits, interests). "Livelihood" only means how someone gets money and basic needs. Also, learners may say *"do a livelihood"* or *"make a livelihood"* instead of the more common English phrase "make a living." Use: "earn a livelihood" or, more naturally, "make a living."
