“Vivre<\/em><\/span>” (“To Live”) is a must-know French verb.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It can be tricky to conjugate, because in some cases it can be confused with the verb voir <\/em>(to see)<\/span>: “Je vis<\/em>”\u00a0(I live)\u00a0and “je vis<\/em>”\u00a0(“I saw”), in which case context becomes your best friend!<\/p>\n

It is conjugated the same way as revivre <\/em>(to live something again), survivre <\/em>(to survive.)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, it is also famous for its imperative form “vive<\/em><\/span>“, as in “vive la France!<\/em>” (“Long live France”)—which is not “viva la France<\/em><\/del>“, because viva is Spanish or Italian, but not French!<\/p>\n
