Irish Translation Forum

I need the phrase " I refuse to sink" Translated for my tattoo!
I looked it up and got this : Diúltú mé ar tí dul
Is that correct?
Thanks

No! I'm afraid that's far from correct

Diúltaím d'ísliú.

might be worth considering, depending, of course, on what you mean by "sink" ...and what you mean by "refuse".

what i mean is to to never or will be relentless in never getting trampled or put down or failing. Does your translation still work?

More or less.

maybe,

Ní ghéillfidh mé riamh

I will never submit/yield

If we're going out that road....

Ní ligfidh mé mé féin chun ísle riamh.
I will never let myself be abased. (sunk)

Ní ligfidh mé chun íde riamh mé féin .
I will never let myself be abused. (worn down)

When I put Diúltaím d'ísliú into a translator it says reject a lower. what is the word for refuse or action of refusal?

The reson i want sink is because I was thinking of putting an anchor next to the words

Diúltú means refusal

Ní ligfidh mé mé féin chun ísle riamh.
I will never let myself be abased. (sunk)

I think im going to go with this one but I had one question why is mé repeated?
