Translation: Let's not be victims!

I'll drink to that.

[Cavman144]

why not?

[PatriciaJH]

The correct answer was "we shall not be victims." It rejected "...should not be victims." (reported) Really? And if "should not be" isn't correct, how would one say that?

[lingvulo]

You're right. "We should not be victims" (and "Let us not be victims") should be correct. This sort of volitional use of "shall" is pretty odd, and not in common use these days. A better translation of "We shall not be victims" would be "Ni ne estos viktimoj".

[Leisureguy]

The volitional (emphatic) future tense in English is a little odd: In first person (I and we), "shall" is used for the simple future and "will" is used for volitional emphasis. "I shall go" is simply saying that in the future I am going to be going; "I will go" adds that I am promising to go — nothing will stop me.

For second and third person (you, he, she, it, they), it's reversed: the simple future uses "will," the volitional future uses "shall."

I believe you could say "Ni ne devus esti viktimoj" to say "We SHOULD not be victims."

[LeitoMonst]

Couldn't this also be translated to "We will not be victims."?

[Druulian]

Here you have estu, which is imperative.
We will not.. is declarative and should be translated with estos
