( で ) く*らす |
This doesn't correspond to any English word. Maybe the closest phrase is, "To lead one's life." Homeless people, retirees, and rich divorcees all 暮らす even though they don't 稼ぐ. It means "to live in a place" as well as "to do all one's daily junk (eating, sleeping, hanging out)." 暮らす is usually used in sentences like, "over 30,000 people are living in the city." or "Live on $20 a day," or "She had an easy/hard life."
