Question
Could you please translate the phrase, "so others may live" to latin? The phrase is basically short for...I do this job or will sacrifice my life so that others may live.
Thank you for your help.
Hello Brian,
"So others may live", in the sense you confer on in your phrase, is in Latin:
“Dum ceteri vivant”.
Best regards
Maria
