Vivre, Rire, Aimer.

* Most previous answers are nonsense in french. ;-)

Could also be: Vivez, riez, aimez. Some of the context is needed to be sure.

vie, rire, amour

I should think, " C'est la vie", would also suffice.


lili
I have the best answer because I am french!
vis, ris, amour. but this is not very nice! do you want a nice sentence?
la vie, un sourire, et, l'amour

VIVRE - RIRE - AIMER.
(Live - Laugh - Love)

As bloo435 said, the others are nonsense.

le rire en vie d'amour

The proper translation in French would be: "Vis, ris, aime !"

It cannot be: "Vivre, rire, aimer" because this is the infinitive form of the verb. Thus, in English, it would be translated back to: "to live, to laugh, to love". But, the English sentense is using the imperative form: "live, laugh, love".

It could be: "Vivez, riez, aimez !" which is one option out of two. Yet, this translation is very formal and uses the "vous" which is more appropriate when you speak to persons you do not know or in a very formal context.

In this case, when you say: "live, laugh, love", obviously you tell it to someone you know. This is why I would opt for the unformal version using the "tu". Hence my proposed translation: "Vis, ris, aime !"

I'd say "Vivre, plaisir de rire". I interpreted it as: "live, laughing pleasure".

Those words are very tricky in French, hect French is trickey in general :-)
But those words are the most requested French translations, because you can really screw things (A relationship) up if you don't get it right.

Try www.worldlingo.com on the left side of the page about half way down you'll see a link to their free translator. Try that. If you become totaly frustrated by the numerous listings of Adj noun pronoun combinations, bail out after about 12 minutes of monkeing around.
And get "out Side the Box"
If you are familiar with any other latin based language like Spanish or Italian or greek (The Romance Languages, Right) write down what you want to say in that launguage, then use the translator mentioned above going from your Spanish (Or whatever other Language you know) to French. This will narrow the Phone Book size relults you got going from English to french.
If you don't know any other Romantic Languages (Get your GED before you get your Passport!) Just kidding, some what :-0
lol
Ok...what I was saying is "Language Hop" Start with the easyiest:Spanish. Translate the english into the spanish then the spanish in to Italian then Italian into French. This Technique should have you narrowed down fairly well.

I run a Freelance Research Group called Lighthouse Research Group LLC
In that group I have a web of "Experts". This web happens to include the french teacher for the United Nations School in NYC.
I can have exactly what you need in 10 minutes. If you were a client of course! For a 10 minute assignement would set you back about $12.50...Not bad to get exactly what you want!

But I come on here and answer Q's for free to keep my creative juices sharp for paying clients.

So, here are a few more freebie OOTB ideas (out of the box).

Call the French Embassy and ask the oporator your direct question...Wam...right at her. If she is sweet and you do it in the proper way, BINGO, you're done...and total cost? Zero...they probably have a toll free number look it up.
I'll through you a "Bone" since this could be a as serious as a marriage Proposal...like..."I Love You and want us to live and laugh together For Eternity", just kidding again (A little.)
Who proposes in a Bathroom anyway!
"Bone"
French Embassy
4101 Reservoir Road, NW
Washington, DC 20007
Telephone
(202) 944-6000
Do A hybrid Yahoo look up before you call zooming in with the satalite and freak the oporator out :-)

Got to run but here's a few more quick ideas.
Do a search, internet, classifieds, yellow Pages, what ever, for French Tutors, call a few and tell them as a method of assesing their skills you use a translation quiz...Your words and how they should come across. Be shore to tell them "there are no wrong answers here.".

Good luck

BTW save the paint can after you use it...you may need it again.
