Is there simply a word for "live" in Gaeilge?? Along the lines of "live life", or "live free" however simply live would be great. Thanks

Sin é. That is the imperative of "live" mair (maireachtáil)

no, sorry. "sin é" means "that's it" - I was agreeing with domhnall.

Mair is the word you want - but it may change if you put it in a sentence.
