vivre vs. habiter

Question

One of the examples in this lesson reads, "Tu vis en dehors de la ville." I was wondering about the distinction (if there is any, subtle though it may be) between saying that and saying, "Tu habites en dehors de la ville."

Accepted Answer

Bonjour Francisco,
On the Q&A Forum front page, there is a box to allow a search of the forum.
Simply enter a term or word that you wish to find and hit return on your device. There is a good chance that queries about the subject will have been addressed previously.

The link above is an example where I did such a search on your behalf.
I mention this technique to allow you to potentially get the information you require without the delay involved in waiting for a Forum reply to a new query.
Bonne journée
