[edit] Noun
生活 (hiragana せいかつ, romaji seikatsu)
- Life; livelihood; daily living.
[edit] Usage notes
生活 is distinct from 命 (いのち, inochi, life), because it refers to daily life and livelihood as it is experienced, whereas 命 refers to life as a whole (from birth to death), or as an abstract concept. Both are generally translated as life, however, as this distinction is not normally made in English.
