Even Out for Dummies
verb
pronunciation: 'ivən_aʊtWhat does Even Out really mean?
Even out means to make something level or equal. Let's imagine you have two piles of sand, and one pile is much higher than the other. If you want to even them out, you would take some sand from the higher pile and add it to the lower one until they are the same height. This way, both piles are now level or equal. This can also apply to things like emotions or situations. For example, if someone is feeling really happy and their friend is feeling sad, they might try to even out their emotions by talking and comforting each other until they both feel more balanced.
