Hi. I need help with some translations into latin. I very much appreciate any help with these. I would like to translate these into latin to be considered for my company's corporate seal:

"The world is our oyster" or something that means that kind of thing

"Intuitive, Functional, Brilliant"

"Create to Live"

Thanks again, I'm very grateful for any help.

The world is our oyster? Hmm...
Well, literally, that would be Mundum ostrea nostra est. I don't know
any Latin phrases or quotations that have that same meaning. If I were
making one up myself, Orbis pila nostra est. "The orb (world) is our plaything."
(Pila is the word for a ball used as a plaything.)

Intuitive, functional, brilliant. Another toughie. It's hard for me to
translate the word "intuitive" into Latin, especially given the way we use
that word in business. It generally describes a product which is easy for
a user to operate because its controls work the way one would expect
them to. So, in this case I would use aptus. Just my opinion.

So:
Aptus, utilis, praeclarus

Create to live
Crea vivere

Hope this helps.
