Is it right?

[chenly]

Hi,I don't know if it's correct to say " IT doesn't be easy to live in a studio alone "?
Is it correct to say : " It's not easy to collocate with other people in an apartment ".I mean to share an apartment with someone else.
Thanks in advance.

1. No. It isn't easy to live...

2. No. "Collocate" doesn't mean to live together.

In the future, use a separate post for each question.

... and I find your Member Info a little strange, chenly. If it's correct, it's fine.:-D

It might be right. "Collocate" has a distinct whiff of franglais about it.

No. "Collocate" doesn't mean to live together.

Can "coexist" mean so?

It is unusual that a Cambodian's native language is Chinese.

Can "coexist" mean so?

No, not really. It does have a sense of tolerating the other person's presence. Like if you were stuck living with a roommate in college that you didn't care for.

But in general, the simple words work best. It's not easy to share an apartment with other people.

If "collocate" is replaced with "coexist" in the OP's sentence, does it suggest "live together"?

It suggests they live together but that is not the main idea of the word, as SD said.
