lebenswert
worth living
The German word "lebenswert" is an adjective that means "worth living" or "livable". It is composed of the words "leben" (to live) and "wert" (worth). "Lebenswert" is often used to describe conditions, environments, or qualities that enhance life quality, such as a pleasant living environment.
Similar words include "überlebensfähig" (survivable or sustainable) and "lebensfreundlich" (life-friendly or conducive to life).
The distinction lies in the nuance: "lebenswert" specifically comments on the quality of life itself, while the others may refer more generally to conditions supporting survival or existence.
