if the original sentence is correct,can you explain to me why:)thank you:)

Answer

You are correct. The linking verb is understood. The sentence could be rewritten as follows. "Tonight I'm finding a way to cause the things that you say to be just a little less obvious".

Answer

then,why there is a "a" in  "just a little less"?????

Answer

The explicit writing of a linking verb in this case would not be incorrect; it is just not necessary to write it. It is understood.

Answer

The rule here is:
make + adjective
make hot; make cold; make obvious
No need for "be".
End of story.

Answer

I'm not an English teacher but I would say
'Tonight I'm finding a way to make the things you say just a little less obvious.'
I would remove the word 'that',
