[Anonymous]

Hi

For my children i live

Its for at tatoo, and im pretty lost. Dont know latin at all.

So anyone, please help :shock:

Fairly straightforward:
liberis meis vivo
Though I'm not sure vivo can take an indirect object like that. An alternate translation that I know works is:
pro liberis meis vivo

Yes, pro liberis meis vivo is right.

I prefer "pro liberis meis vivo"

Yes, I don't think vivere + dative to say "to live for something" is right either.

Finally it seems that liberis meis vivo would be right. I've chanced upon an example with vivo + dat:

Nemo enim nostrum sibi vivit, et nemo sibi moritur. [Rom, 14,7]
