Usage Note

Vie is a French plural (of vie, life) or Italian plural of via (road, way). In Italian texts it most often appears as the plural of via (le vie della città, the streets of the city) but in gallicist or philosophical contexts it may echo the French meaning of lives or ways of being. The Italian via (f) has a regular plural vie.

Examples
