Russian Language - Short translations for possible tattoo


Expert: Maria Kuruskina - 10/28/2009

Question
Maria,

I am considering a tattoo in Russian, and would like your translation of the following 2 phrases:

1. Be Brave
2. Inner Strength  (as in being an emotionally strong person who survives life's tragedies with great strength and resolve)

Thank you so much.

Jane

Answer
Hi Jane

1. Будь смелым (male)/будь смелой (female)
2. Сила / внутренняя сила / крепость (to tell the truth, these words look weird if used for a tattoo) :) Maybe you tell me more about the concept of your tattoo so that I can think of more suitable words?
