What does por la vida mean in English?

"Por la vida" in Spanish literally translates to "for life".

However, depending on the context, it can have several interpretations in English:

* For life: This is the most literal translation, often used in phrases like "I will love you por la vida" (I will love you for life).

* Through life: This translation emphasizes the journey and duration of life, like "We will face challenges por la vida" (We will face challenges through life).

* Throughout life: Similar to "through life," this translation suggests a continuous experience across life's journey, like "He will be remembered por la vida" (He will be remembered throughout life).

* Forever: In some contexts, "por la vida" can convey a sense of eternity or lastingness, like "Our love will last por la vida" (Our love will last forever).

Ultimately, the best English translation depends on the specific context and intended meaning within the sentence.
