Explanation
Alive means living, not dead. People, animals, and plants are alive when they grow, move, breathe, or respond. When someone is alive, their body and mind are working. It also means being full of energy or excitement. For example, a place can feel “alive” when there is music, people, and joy. So, it can describe both life in the physical sense and a feeling of liveliness or energy.
