Hello. I am looking to get the phrase "DIE TRYING" translated into Polish. In a sentence it would be used....

"I will never give up, I will DIE TRYING if I have to"

I only need the DIE TRYING portion translated into Polish.

Thank you very much.

Ya, I was wondering about - Nie traćcie nadziei. Thought that was - Do not lose hope

Also, when I do a free translation is shows - próbując umrzeć . Which is reversed from your suggestion? Wondering why that is?

Thank you E_T

Gotów jestem umrzeć starając się.

There is a saying: "Zesrać się, a nie dać się" which may be accurate.

-> I 'm gonna shit myself but won't give up.

I think this one _really_ doesn't translate

I might try a real paraphrase (which will sound awkward but more Polish and might help helpful native speakers supply a better one):

"Do skutku lub do śmierci" (roughly: till success or death)

Thank you Mafketis. I was going to be getting a tattoo of it but wanted it in Polish. That is a great idea, but a little long! haha

May have to come up with something else.

Thank you all for your help.

Shouldn't be a problem for someone who knows how to draw and use ink-needles

Thanks again to everyone

I'd go with: "I'll keep trying if it kills me" or "I'll keep trying till I drop"

That said, I think 'do upadłego' on its own might be pretty good. Not too long and catchy and implies the idea of 'trying till ....'.

I LIKE these! I have a Polish Coach (I live in the US)...who, bless his heart, pushes me so hard at times that I want to quit! But, to his credit, I have accomplished more through him than I thought possible (long boring story involving age and health issues...I'll spare you the details). I've actually won medals and trophies under his Coaching.

BUT! There are days when ....the frustration can be overwhelming. I'm just starting to learn Polish, so this will be great to use on those days when nothing is going right!

Thanks!
