vivent

Vivent is primarily encountered as a French verb form. It is the third-person plural present indicative of the verb vivre, meaning "to live." In use, "ils vivent" translates as "they live" or "they are living." It is typically seen in ordinary sentences such as "Ils vivent en France" or "Ils vivent une vie tranquille." The verb vivre is irregular in some tenses, but vivent follows the regular pattern for the present tense of -re verbs in the plural. Its related forms include "je vis," "tu vis," "il/elle vit," "nous vivons," and "vous vivez."

As a proper noun, Vivent may appear as a surname or in brand or place names, though there is no single widely recognized entity universally identified by this spelling. In branding, agencies or products sometimes use "Vivent" to evoke vitality or life, but such usage is context-specific rather than canonical.

Etymology: the French verb vivre comes from Latin vivere; the root viv- is related to words for life and living in many Romance languages. In other languages, terms that resemble "vivent" can have different meanings depending on spelling and grammar.
