A word we made.
Now it is yours.
Some words are found. This one was brought together because no existing word quite expressed what we wanted to say when a moment deserved to be noticed.
interjection. Said when raising a glass or marking a moment worth noticing — joyful, difficult, ordinary, or unforgettable. “To Now. To Us. To Life. ORAZOI!”
noun. A reminder to recognize and be present for the moments that make up a life. “No phones tonight. Just orazoi.”
Coined 2026, from Greek ora (the moment) + zoi (life).
ORA — the moment.
ZOI — life.
Two old words. One new word. One new life.
Across languages, ora carries echoes of time, prayer, light, and the hour. Zoi brings life. Together, they became ORAZOI.
Look around.
Notice the moment.
Raise a glass if there is one. Say the word if it feels right. Use it at weddings and quiet Tuesdays, reunions and goodbyes, the table full and the chair empty.
To Us.
To Life.
ORAZOI.
Use it freely.
We did not make this word to keep it. Say it at your table, write it into a toast, and share it with the people you love. We hope it becomes a word people naturally reach for when a meaningful moment deserves to be recognized.
