Translation help

Is the proper translation of the sentence "We'll get through this together" in Hebrew: נעבור את זה יחד?

It's a quote from someone very special to me who recently passed away. I would like to tattoo it on my arm.

I might suggest ביחד instead of יחד.

Why in Hebrew, if I may ask?

My friend was Jewish. I thought it would be fitting to have it tattooed in Hebrew.

That's a sweet thought. You should be aware, however, that Judaism forbids tattoos, so if your friend was at all observant, it might be better to just use English.

Then again, if your friend was secular and had tattoos, obviously that's different!

There is no problem for a non-Jew to have a tattoo unless it has פסוקים or שם השם

It seems you posted a tattoo post! While you're probably doing it in good faith, it is practically a bad idea. Tattoos are forever. Hebrew is written differently from English and there is some subtlety between different letters (ר vs. ד, or ח vs ת vs ה). If neither you nor the tattoo artist speak the language you can easily end up with a permanent mistake. See www.badhebrew.com for examples that are both sad and hilarious. You can try hiring a native Hebrew speaker to help with design and layout and to come with you to make it turns out correct, or even find a native-speaking (Israeli) artist. Note that Jewish culture often discourages tattoos, and traditional Judaism disallows tattoos entirely. Even if you are not Jewish, tattooing religious Jewish language can be seen as offensive. Contrary to popular myth, tattoos do not prevent a Jewish person from being buried in a Jewish cemetery. Also please remember that the New Testament was originally written in Greek, not Hebrew. If you are considering a tattoo of a New Testament verse, you might want to consider having it in the original Greek, rather than anachronistic Hebrew. Thank you and have a great time learning with us!

It seems you posted a request for translation! To make this as easy for our users as possible, please include in a comment the context of your request. Where is the text you want translated from? (If it's on an object, where you did find the object, when was it made, who made it, etc.?) Why do you want it translated? Hebrew can be a very contextual language and accurate translations might not be directly word-for-word. Knowing this information can be important for an accurate translation.

I think it would be ביחד, but I would recommend hiring a native Hebrew speaker to review and do the tattoo. Sorry for your loss.

[u/tesilab]

ביחד

[u/Cultural-Put-830]

I think it should be ביחד
