The question is: can we check the restoration words on Ledger Live or, if we've lost them, do we have to send them to another wallet and write down the new words?
I assure you that there are many more distracted people than you think... Not to mention forgetfulness, moving house, unexpected destruction, etc. etc. etc.

Why would you want to check the backup words on Ledger Live?? Typing your backup on your computer or on your phone is a huge no-no. You should only verify your backup on the device itself like I said; even though Ledger wouldn't make a legitimate backup checker on Ledger Live in the first place because it's just such a bad idea.

I find it actually very good and safer if the setup of a hardware wallet requires the user to enter *all* prior presented mnemonic recovery words for a new wallet as verification that the user has actually backed them up (written on paper at minimum at this step). That way a user usually can't proceed with wallet setup if the recovery words are not backed up.

It should be clearly indicated that only an offline backup is safe, no screenshot, no digital copy, no picture to take. Some users are lazy, some are dumb and lack all knowledge of crypto coin safety. It's better to force them to safety than allow them wiggle room as some mobile phone wallet apps allow (for the sake of an easy setup... bullshit!). There will always be fancy pants who will postpone a recovery backup until cry-baby day.

It seems to me that being able to review restoration words is very important for a beginner, as you don't always have the right reflexes at first.
If this is a matter of personal eyesight and reflexes of eyesight and coordination with hand, I know what you mean here and not everyone can clearly look at it. But worry not because there is no time or shot clock like a ticking bomb for you to write and save those seeds/recovery words. So, hurry not with that because it is going to take time and you have to check them clearly upon doing so.

The question is: can we check the restoration words on Ledger Live
No, you can't. Unless you want to avail their Ledger Recover which is a big no.

if we've lost them, do we have to send them to another wallet and write down the new words?
Say, that you're still able to access the ledger wallet and you have lost the seeds. You'll have to verify the transaction on the actual device before sending. I think that I understand you here. Yes, send it to another wallet like a desktop wallet, sweep that hardware wallet and generate new recovery phrases and after writing them down and backing it up. Send back the balances on that new wallet that you generated you've sent before.

Are you not meant to save your wallet seed phrase before doing whatever you want to do ?
As a user it's always advisable to save your wallet seed phrase in several place maybe if the wallet breakdown or damages beyond usage you can easily go to the stored place to get back your secrete phrase keys to start up back the wallet if damaged. However If you want to review restoration from the wallet most times some wallet doesn't have that feature so what you would is to careful make sure doing the creation and installation make sure to save your seed phrase and keep it safe.

   Seed phrase is a connected series of numbers of 12 or 24 set of words that gives information needed to recover a missing or damaged cryptocurrency wallet,which is best known as security measures for digital asset held ones personal possession.

   Seed phrase and private keys perform two different function which are,
 ° A seed phrase has to do with fingerprint of all your Blockchain assets that can be use as backup for you,Incase you lose your crypto wallet, While Private key links you solely to your Blockchain address.

   The seed is your secret recovery phrase,that backup all private keys stored in your crypto wallet which accept you to get back all your blockchain addresses always without the original crypto wallet.

   When a hardware wallet is broken it needs you to get back your real seed phrase to another able to be used together device, almost the same as to a forgotten pin.
When your hardware wallet is missing or stolen, you have to buy a substitute.
