UBB.threads Forums General Militaria Names, Documents, Photos and Translation Forum "I Was Yours."

Long story, but life has been kicking me in the butt lately and but it's made me realize what I want for my newest tattoo.

I want, "I was yours." translated into German. Simple as that. I asked my Oma and she said it was "Ich bin dein gewesen." I don't speak German (yet I plan to learn soon) so I just want to be sure that this is the correct translation before I get it tattoo'd to my body.

Thanks in advance.

Hello Lorelai, sorry for delay, I do see your thread now for the first time.
Yes, your grandmother is right (aren´t that grandmothers always??? ), a shorter form could be:
Ich war Dein (or "dein" with small first letter) = I was yours.
Ich bin Dein (dein) gewesen = I have been yours.
Regards,
