MAKE PEACE
Dear Teachers,
1. Have you made your peace with her yet?
2. Did you make it up with her?
- Are these natural and the same meaning?
Thanks very much to Teachers,
Stevenukd.

1. Yes, sounds good.
2. I'd use "to" instead of "with", i.e. "Did you make it up to her."
edit: Sorry, I've just checked in another dictionary (!) Apparently you use "with" to mean end a quarrel and "to" to mean compensate somebody for something missed/ suffered. Sorry for any confusion caused!

Hi,
This note, I wrote to myself, might not make any sense to you, but I use it to differentiate between ‘make up with’ and ‘make it up to’:
The term with means along / together / augmented / complemented … Thus, up means whole and both parties need to work together. Therefore, ‘make up with’ = ‘make peace with’ (i.e., making whole)’.
