  • A sentence can be grammatical without making sense. Years ago I was given an example of a sentence which is perfectly grammatical but means nothing - Colourless green ideas sleep furiously. Neither of your examples is idiomatic English. If you are asking a philosophical question "What is life, even?" would probably be the most natural.

The second one What even is life? is better as the comment by Kate says, if you mean to ask about the meaning of life.



Reason: “Even” can be an adverb or an adjective. I am assuming you want to emphasize “is” so it would be better to not have “even” directly in front of “life”. Putting it at the end as suggested in the comment by Kate is an option and likely the more common way to ask.
