How do you say "Live like there's no tomorrow" in french? Good grammar please and if you dont know don't just guess.

I know enough french to know whether you're telling the truth (a genuine translation) or not. Thank you!!

This is a very literary quote...there is probably an equivalent in the French language, but I don't know what it is. I will, therefore, just translate the idea.

"Vivre comme si demain n'arriverait pas."

You need to use the infinitive here, contrary to what the others above think. The infinitive is used for impersonal commands. The person that wrote "vive" had the right idea, because when it is spoken, the "r" sound is not strongly pronounced and some people might not even pronounce it at all.

Hope I was able to help.

Vivre comme la est aucun demain
il y'a un accent sur le "a " dans "la"

Vis comme s`il y a pas de demain
where "vis" is the imperative form for 2nd person singular

p.s. for shadow arysa: the imperative of the verb "vivre" is "vis" not "vive" as you said.

I would say :
"Vis comme si il n'y avait pas de lendemain"
or maybe :
" Vis comme si tu devais mourir demain" (live like if you could die tomorrow, or something like that)

The second one sounds actually better.
