The word 'lifetime' means the time that someone or something is alive or exists. For example, a person's lifetime is how long they live.

You pronounce 'lifetime' like this: 'life' (rhymes with 'knife') and 'time' (like the word for hours and minutes). So, it sounds like 'life-time'.

The word 'lifetime' comes from the Old English words 'lif', which means life, and 'tima', which means time. So, it literally means the time of life.

The word 'lifetime' in Bengali is 'জীবনকাল' (Jībanakāl).
