Discussion of 日子

To include posts you need to register at trainchinese.com

辈子, 日子, 生命 and 生活 are different in their meanings:

辈子: one's whole life, lifetime as a whole -- Here life refers to "the period between the birth and death of a human being."
生命: life -- Here, "life" as in two different meanings: No. 1-"the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter" and No. 2-"the existence of an individual human being or animal."
生活: life. -- once again this refers to "the period between the birth and death of a human being."
日子: day, date; life, livelihood (spoken Chinese). -- The second meaning is very similar to 生活, however it's less formal than 生活 and is used a lot in spoken Chinese.

In Chinese, the term 日子 (rìzi) primarily refers to "days" in a literal sense, but it can also denote the concept of "life" or "livelihood" in a more idiomatic way, especially in spoken contexts. This usage captures the notion of daily living or the quality of one's life experience.

When discussing 日子 (rìzi) in terms of livelihood, it often reflects how one is doing in life, including factors such as happiness, stability, or financial well-being. For instance, one might say their 日子 (rìzi) are good or bad depending on their current circumstances.
