long life

Many years ahead

Long life refers to an extended lifespan or duration of existence.

It appears in toasts and well-wishes: Long life to the king!

Products boast long life when they're durable or slow to expire: long-life milk, long-life batteries.

The phrase captures both literal longevity and the hope for it—something worth celebrating or engineering for.
