French to English translations [PRO]
Social Sciences - Anthropology / From tourist information about Franche-Comté | | French term or phrase: Comtois, rends-toi, nenni ma foi ! | No more context to offer, but it's a well-known phrase in Franche-Comté dialect which natives of the region will be very familiar with.
A basic translation would suffice; an equivalent in Brit-Eng or Am-Eng dialect would be fine, too. |

| | Comtois, surrender! Not on your life! | Explanation:
According to the reference below, "nenni" is "no". Since "se rendre" is "surrender", the above seems like a pretty reasonable attempt at a translation. Note that, in many of the Google references I found, the punctuation was "Comtois, rends-toi ! Nenni ma foi !" |
