    Sanskrit translation for a tattoo?
    The saying is


    " what doesn't kill me only makes me stronger "

    I am getting confused by other translation sites because the word "doesn't" will not come up in the dictionary. Any help to solve my problem is greatly appreciated :D

    Thank you !

    The things in life that hurt us but
    Do not end our life can only make
    A person stronger for surviving those
    Things


    Thanks for helping me out !

    Someone on another website said


    It's been years since I took Sanskrit, but here's my attempt:
    यत्त्वंनघातयतित्वमाप्याययति।
    Yat tvaṁ ghātayati tvam āpyāyayati.

    Yat (pron.): what, that which (nom.)
    Tvam (pron.): you (acc.)
    Na (adv.): not
    Ghātayati (verb): cause to be killed (pres. Ind. 3 sg.)
    Tvam (pron.): you (acc.)
    āpyāyayati (verb): cause to be strong (pres. Ind. 3 sg.)
