Question
Hi Maria,

Is confido vitae the right translation for i trust life??

Thank you

Jessica

Answer
Hello,

“Confido vitae”  is the correct translation of  “I trust life”.

Note that CONFIDO (1st.person singular, present indicative of a verb which takes the dative case) means “I trust” and  VITAE (dative singular of VITA, 1st.declension) means “life”.

Best regards,
Maria
