Context:
'Coming at ya live from Fhloston..."
coming to you
ya = colloquial pronunciation of you.

Thanks.
Grammatically, "live" is the verb of you? What is the subject of the sentence?
L eye ve pronounced as in alive, strive, hive, dive.
meaning without delay for editing or other post production treatment, as it happens.
The definition of live may be taken to mean as taped and can be delayed but usually within a few minutes of the actual hapening.
The context of the sentence is presumably a television reporter making a report from an outside broadcast. Possibly a news or weather report but not necessarily so. The reporter is telling viewers that the pictures are being transmitted unedited and without editing.
As DP is trying to say, "live" is not a verb here, but an adjective. It means something being shown as the event takes place, rather than filmed or video-taped for a later broadcast. The verb in that sentence is "to come," as in "Coming at ya . . .
@oristarA,
We don't have that much context, but, inferentially, the subject is the broadcast which is "Coming at ya . . ."
@Setanta,
I'm not
trying to say it. I am saying it.
@dadpad,
No, in fact, you didn't at all address his question about live being a verb.
