IWhat to watch for

The present subjunctive of vivir swaps -ir for the a-set: viva, vivas, viva, vivamos, viváis, vivan — exactly the endings of comer's coma. For -er and -ir verbs, the subjunctive vowel is always a.

You already know one form: ¡viva! in ¡viva México! or ¡vivan los novios! is a subjunctive of wish, like ojalá. In ordinary sentences the triggers are the usual ones — quiero que vivas tranquila, es normal que vivan juntos, buscamos un barrio donde vivamos bien.
