Russian Language - Translation pleasee!


Expert: Natasha Kozyreva - 10/7/2009

Question
Natasha,
How would you say "Beautiful life" in Russian
I've translated it on translate websites but I don't really trust them
Thanks!
Bethany

Answer
Hello Bethany,

You are quite right about not trusting online translators: as of now they are best used as .
Now as for the phrase you want to translate, I take it people either use it to talk about a good/fulfilling life and this would be "прекрасная жизнь" or to refer, sometimes disapprovingly, to a sort of hedonistic existence (fancy cars, posh restaurants and so on) and that would be "красивая жизнь".
Note that if you want to use that in a sentence you may need to change the endings of the words.

I hope this answers your question.

Best wishes,
Natasha
