Hi my names john and i've recently overcome my depression which almost caused me to take my own life not long ago. To always remind myself that life is worth living i wanted to get a tattoo but in a different language. Latin has alway interested me and i would like for someone to translate the following phrase for me.
"Never Give Up" plz this means a lot to me and this is the first form i've ever used and i don't want someone to translate it into something mean. As well if it's not to much trouble could someone also provide a break down of the phrase so i know how to pronouce it. Thanks to anyone who can help!!

I know your feelings about the suicide. Unfortunately.
An inspirational tattoo is a good idea. I am contemplating one of those myself :)

I would translate never give up either as 'numquam dede' or as 'numquam trade'.

Sorry Gullage for not answering this question. I don't know how to transcribe sounds either.

I will try it though. Emphasis on the bolded syllable.
numquam:
noom - quam ('qua' as in 'aquatic')

dede:
'e' in both sentences as in 'very'
'e' in first syllable is longer, as it is emphasized.

Let me know if I can clarify this any better :)
