    Ask latin experts
    Hi,
    I want to get a tattoo saying "I doubt", but in Latin.
    Anyone can give me the exact translation for it? Don't want to tattoo a mistake...
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you very much for your reply.

    But if I may:

    I'm looking for a way to say "I doubt" in two words. I know it may not be possible, but could you please tell me if "Ego dobitem" is also correct?

    And I know the meaning is a little bit different, but is "de omnibus dubitandum" (doubt everything) is also a correct sentence?

    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Dubitem is conjunctive, so the meaning is different.
    You could use "ego dubito" as in "ego dubito ergo sum" for example
    De omnibus dubitandum is okay too, it's from Karl Marx "be suspicious of everything, doubt everything"
