I am not sure livelihood is the correct translation. Livelihood is more what you do to live, rather than money.
There are plenty of examples for “earn one’s livelihood”. Can you give me an example for how you would use it in a sentence?
hmmm Livelihood is not really a word I’ve ever used but Lebensunterhalt came up in my B2 course so i checked here. If you are talking about earning ones livelihood you are earning the livelihood, but the two terms are not synomous. The money is an aspect of what you have to do to provide for yourself Maybe you aren’t doing wage labour and are a simple fisherman who weaves his clothes and then the liveliehood is different. At least thats how i understand it. Best thing i could suggest is looking at the english language wikipedia article on livelihood : )
But back to Lebensunterhalt is this just basically symomous with money then?
