Sentence in a tattoo

Question

Hi everybody,

I'm thinking in a tattoo and I want to be totally sure about the sentence. I want to say 'Vive sin miedo' and I don't want to write something wrong.

The first time I thought it, I wrote 'Live fearless' and I have just seen that I was wrong... (and that's the reason that I'm asking right now here).

How it should be? Live without fear ?

Thank you so much!

Answer 1

Fearless is an adjective, fear is a noun, and fearlessly is an adverb.

Live fearless is not correct grammar, Live fearlessly is. Live without fear is also correct grammar.

You can find people who tattoo incorrect grammar (and all manners of crazy, later to be regretted, things) onto themselves.

I am past 50, and would never get a tattoo, so I cannot tell you what would actually be preferable to the current generation.

Thank you so much! :) And, never it's too late to do new things... :P - jmora, Sep 1, 2016

I voted for the effort. You can always render a preference on the English if you wish and have one. ;) - bosquederoble, Sep 1, 2016
