Hey there guys, have one "small" prob :) Was thinking about gettin a tattoo, but something completely opposite of Memento Mori, that's "remember you must die" am i right ?

Well , I'd like "Remeber, you must live" ... is memento vivere correct ?

Cheers in advance <3 ;)

cheers for the fast reply mate :)

just one more thing, when i say "remeber you must live" , is it, remember you must LIVE your life ? or just, you must live... dunno if you get me :/ kinda hard to explain.

oh and, pronounced - vee-var-ree ?

Technically, it means "remember to live", and memento mori means "remember to die". But, I think they would both be understood as "remember, you must live/die".

As to the pronunciation, the "v" is pronounced as a "w" - memento wiware. I'll see if I can get a recording of the pronunciation up in a moment.

Naturally, I am open to correction from the community. I try my best to deal with my American accent, but it just won't go away : P
