Hi, I'm looking for the translation for "I will not be broken" for a tattoo.
I hope I formatted that subject line right!

A very literal rendering would be "Ní bheidh mé briste." There may be a more idiomatic way of saying this, though, so if you can elaborate on the meaning a bit, please do.

Wait for more input as well, please.

Ní bhrisfear mé would be more accurate, I think. I'm not sure as to how best explain it, though

That would mean being in a broken state rather than the action of being broken, which presumably is what is intended.

Ní bhrisfear mé (I will not be broken) or Ní chloífear mé (...defeated, subdued)

(Crossed with Gumbi. My 'h' key sometimes fails too, Gumbi :LOL:
