Stupid question but what's the difference?
One is pronounced live, the other is pronounced live.
And backwards the both say "evil"
Being alive is just not being dead. Living an income sufficient to live on or the means of earning it.
And alive is a diphtong < i > (/ai/) and living a short i, right? (I'm not a native speaker if not obvious)
