What does 'vivir' mean in English?

  1. To visit

  2. To revive

  3. To live

  4. To vivify

The correct answer is: To live

The term 'vivir' in Spanish translates to 'to live' in English. It signifies the act of existing, being alive, or experiencing life, which is its primary meaning. This verb is commonly used in various contexts related to life experiences, such as living in a particular place or lifestyle. The other options, while they may seem related, do not accurately convey the meaning of 'vivir.' 'To visit' pertains to going to see someone or something temporarily, 'to revive' suggests bringing something back to life or consciousness, and 'to vivify' refers to making something more lively or animated. None of these captures the essence of 'vivir' as straightforwardly as 'to live' does.
