"Se mi estus pli juna, mi povus ĝui la vivon."

Translation: If I were younger, I would be able to enjoy life.

[cdub4language]

Vi ankaŭ povas ĝui la vivon kiam vi maljunas. Mia avino estas 94-jara kaj ŝi trinkas vinon, manĝas multe da ĉokoladon, koketas, babilas multe, kaj jus gajnis $600 en la kazino ;-)

[FredCapp]

Mi pardonpetas! Mi havas pli ol sesdek jaroj kaj trovas la vivon tre ĝueman.

[Oceanotti]

Ĝi montriĝas! ;-)

[zuoanqh]

why cant i say "i could enjoy life"?

[hellomidnight]

It's correct. If it's not accepted as an answer, report it.

[Davgwynne]

How would you say "I would be able to enjoy the life.", since adding the "the" is not accepted?
In English "the life" and "life" would mean different things, but both would meaningful. It would usually imply that you were talking of an already established subject, for example: I would enjoy the life of a rich man.

[FredCapp]

Since "the life" in English is usually referring to a lifestyle (correct me if I'm wrong on that) one could say "la vivmaniero."

So: Mi povus ĝui la vivmanieron de riĉulo.

[LiMo42]

Ĉu "enjoy the life" ĉi tie vere estas malĝusta? Mi ne estas denaska parolanto de la angla, do mi ne certas, sed almenaŭ en Esperanto ja ŝajne oni bezonas la artikolon en tiu frazo.

[PatriciaJH]

Vi pravas! (La frazo kiun mi vidas aktuale, korekte enhavas "enjoy life." Se iu vidu "enjoy the life," bonvolu raportu tiun.)

[FabledFrost]

How would you say "If I were younger, I could enjoy life?" in esperanto?

[XcU1sulr]

Someone please explain why in an earlier question in this lesson it's not la negxon for the sentence "the children played in the snow", while it's la vivon in this sentence. I think they are both direct objects, and therefore should require the -n ending.

[salivanto]

Playing "in the snow" is not a direct object -- it's a prepositional phrase. See link.

Reminds me of the saying, "Too bad youth is wasted on the young."
