Discussion

Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 15, 2022:
If you want the same effect as in the Dutch source, that is live - live- live

Perhaps:

Beter leven - Live a better life

Be-leven - Live a full life

Bewust leven - Live a mindful life

Living life to fullest means continually reaching out for newer, richer, deeper, life-changing experiences.
Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 15, 2022:
I suspect this is an alternative spelling of 'beleven'

The want to get this 'leven' separate as in 'beter leven' en 'bewust leven' for similarity, but they mean 'beleven'.

beleven --> experience

Experience

Als mens willen we leven, voelen, groeien en Zijn
Tina Vonhof (X) Jul 15, 2022:
I agree with Phil. These are made-up terms. You need to know more about what is meant by each one before you can translate it. It seems to be about improving people's experience of their work environment, not purifying the building.

Live aware

Don't think you need to keep the B as the leading word. I would say something like
Live better
Live aware
Live consciously

Live a full live

The need/want three times 'leven'.
Therefore they spelled 'beleven' as 'be-leven' (they use a hyphen to indicate it is actually one word [beleven])

Beter leven

Be-leven --> Beleven (Als mens willen we leven, voelen, groeien en Zijn)

Bewust leven


If you want the same effect in the source, that is: live - live- live

Perhaps:

Beter leven - Live a better life

Be-leven - Live a full life

Bewust leven - Live a mindful life

Living life to fullest means continually reaching out for newer, richer, deeper, life-changing experiences.

Reference:

Be-alive?

Maybe something like that, it seems you need to play with words.
Better live
Be alive
... and then you have to find a word that starts with a B for the last one!
