Tattoo translation

Postby lynchm5 » Wed Feb 08, 2012 8:32 pm

Hello,

I am getting a tattoo in the next few days. Originally I planned to get the phrase "live well, laugh often, love always" but have narrowed it to "live, laugh, love". I wan to make sure the correct translation for these words in the right context is :

ดำรงชีวิต
หัวเราะ
ความรัก

Thanks!

I think it doesn't make much sense in thai because these 3 words do not have a clear relation.
Grammatically, you have 3 verbs in english.
In thai, you have :
ดำรงชีวิต > verb + noun
หัวเราะ > verb
ความรัก > noun
Please have a look at :
