And English too, apparently. [Blushing]

"Vivé la..." or "Vive la..."? I've seen both.

Since I don't know how to do the accents on a keyboard, it doesn't matter to me which is correct. [Smile]

I've found a dozen french dictionaries and sites on conjugation but they all stink.

"Vive la", no accent. And it's read "viv la".

Actually, now that I think about it that just makes sense. I knew it was pronounced Viv so that would mean there couldn't be an accent on the e or it would be pronounced, correct?

Thanks very much!

Yeah, in "vivé" the "e" would be pronounced and the word would have two syllables, "vi" and "vé", with the accent on the second one. Glad I could help! [Hat]
