Verb

vīvō (present infinitive vīvere, perfect active vīxī, supine vīctum); third conjugation, impersonal in the passive

  1. to live
    Synonym: dēgō
    • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.2:

    • 63 BCE, Cicero, Catiline Orations Oratio in Catilinam Prima in Senatu Habita.1:
      Quam diu quisquam erit qui te defendere audeat, vives, et vives ita ut nunc vivis, multis meis et firmis praesidiis obsessus ne commovere te contra rem publicam possis. Multorum te etiam oculi et aures non sentientem, sicut adhuc fecerunt, speculabuntur atque custodient.
      As long as one person exists who can dare to defend you, you shall live; you shall live as you do now, surrounded by my many and trustworthy guards, so that you shall not be able to stir one finger against the republic: many eyes and ears shall still observe and watch you, as they have hitherto done, though you shall not perceive them.

Usage notes

edit

This verb is essentially intransitive, and thus has no passive forms. However, some limited passive use is attested:

  • impersonal passive use: “negat Epicurus, jucunde posse vivi, nisi cum virtute vivatur”: "Epicurus says we cannot live pleasantly unless we live virtuously" (Cic. Tusc. 3, 20, 49)
  • very rare personal passive use in poetry: “nunc tertia vivitur aetas” (Ov. M. 12, 187)

In later Latin, forms such as vivuntur or vivebantur are attested.
