Usage Note
Vita is feminine and covers both 'life' (abstract or biographical) and 'waist' (body part) — context always distinguishes. The phrase fare la bella vita means to live the easy life, not a beautiful one. Plural is regular: le vite.
Examples
"La vita è piena di sorprese."
Natural Translation
Life is full of surprises.
