 Long live sb/sth! Long live sb/sth - we said this to show support for the person or thing mentioned I'm confused with the word "live". In my opinion, "live" in the idiom should be a verb. Is that correct? How should I pronounce the "live" - "liv" or "laiv"? Thanks for the help. |

| Re: Long live sb/sth! 'liv' and you're right that it's a verb- it's a subjunctive form. http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/subjunctive.html |
