Description
Never Give Up in Japanese is 決して諦めない which is read kesshite akiramenai
The Japanese phrase kesshite akiramenai is composed of the word 決して (read kesshite) which in this case means "absolutely; decidedly" and the verb 諦めない (read akiramenai) which is the negative of 諦める (read akirameru) meaning to "Give Up" - so the direct translation is "absolutely do not give up".
