I like topics like that :)
In Polish it's życie. In Japanese it's 命 (inochi) as opposed to death or 生活 (seikatsu) as in "everyday life". In Mandarin it's 生命 (shēngmìng). In Spanish it's la vida (I guess similar to French?) In German it's das Leben. In Russian it's жизнь. I guess these are all the languages I know... 1 person has voted this message useful | |

Not much left to add, as far as my notions reach...
Georgian: cxovreba (c like in Polish, x like German doch) French: la vie (you know the song, don't you...) Italian: la vita Norwegian: liv(et) Ancient Greek: "zoe" as opposed to death, "bios" more in the sense of existence (sorry no fonts on this pc) 1 person has voted this message useful | |

In Czech life = život.
This is confusing for Russian speakers as животь (zhivot') which is almost pronounced the same means stomach. Other languages het leven (Dutch) a vida (Portuguese) 1 person has voted this message useful |
