I need to get a phrase translated into as many languages as possible. The phrase is:

"give up on life"

This was the best place I could think of to post this.

Thanks

Sounds pretty damn if you ask me. I'll see if I can get my bf to give me the Greek... just don't actually give up on life, though?

Damned edit button disappearing on me.

My bf gave me a couple of suggestions. It's kinda hard to get something that would literally translate back to exactly "give up on life", here's what he gave me:

έχασα την επιθυμία για ζωή. - lost the desire/wish to live
έχασα την όρεξη για ζωή. - lost the appetite for life

but those seem to be more of an observation of oneself giving up on life rather than a command to someone else to give up on life, and the latter seems to be what you're going for? I asked for the command-like version of it and now whe wants to know why the hell anyone would command such a thing of another person...

δώσε τέλος - give an end (i.e. take your life)

Don't really know how helpful that is. Do you mind me asking what it's for?

Composition. Annoyingly, I forgot to ask: I could also do with as many translations of "house" as possible. I have a fair few.

In French I guess the best translation would be "perdre le goût de vivre" (to lose the taste to live, literally). My French is crap now though, despite being a native! Living abroad is NOT a good idea! :lol:

There's nothing that literally translates into what you wanted but here's a decent swedish translation: Tappa lusten att leva

It's difficult to translate that in dutch, cause we don't say that, but it's something like "Het leven opgeven" or "Het leven voor gezien hebben".
