I quoted #1 from the site above.. 1min 36seconds...
1. Today we say PyongYang have the courage to puesue peace and give a better life to the people of North Korea.
Q) How should I understand the structure of the sentence considering underlined part?
All I know about the use of say is this:
I said something to him.
I said that he is a liar.
When I listened to it, "to" is not be able to be heard. But it should be there considering "Say (something) to someone."
Do you think I missed "to" because it pronounced really quickly as much as it is not noticed?
Q2) It leads to more of the same more broken dreams, more isolation and ever more distance between the people of North Korea and dignity and opportunity they deserve. (quoted from 1:07)
The underlined part is difficult for me(the structure and the meaning). How should I understand it?
