  • #2

"How tin I go far up to yous?" means, "What can I practise to make amends?"

It'due south non informal. I don't think I sympathise your question. If you could utilize total sentence examples I might understand improve what you are request.

What's the difference betwixt, "How tin can I get in up to y'all?" and... what?

The 2nd example, "How tin can I make it up for you?" seems completely unrelated to the first.

We sometimes use "brand up" to mean "create". And so we talk about making upward songs or making up stories or maybe making up things which are simulated.

Person A: I need you lot to give me the temperatures in every metropolis in Europe.
Person B: I don't know that information. How tin can I get in upwards for y'all?

All the same, I don't think I've really ever heard someone say it that way. I would personally say, "I can't but make up some numbers for you."

The phrasal verb I'yard familiar with, is "Make information technology upwardly to you". This means that you have washed something bad to somebody, so yous promise them you lot'll do something prissy to "make upward for" what you did to them.

How can I always make upwards to you lot for what I did?

I won't ever forgive you, but that volition certain brand it upwardly to me.

How tin I make it up for you? is meaningless. That'southward to say, I can't retrieve of a natural context when I would utilize it, if it fifty-fifty exists.

I hope Stephen got her the present he would have got her had he remembered her birthday every bit well as the roses to recoup, otherwise all he was doing was giving her a belated birthday souvenir and not making up for it at all. :rolleyes: :D
