Is i will not fail you correct because doesn't that imply something from the future while this is just a present form? Isn't i do not fail you a better translation?
I am not sure but so far it seems to me that in Danish, present and future tenses use the same verb form. I may be wrong but maybe a native speaker will come along to correct me.
Im not native, but I've seen people talk about how in Danish, they use the present to talk about the future sometimes. Like "He will be here soon" can be said "Han er her snart" literally translating to "He is here soon". This could be wrong
"I fail you not" is not everyday English. But it looks like a literal translation of the Danish phrase.
awefulwaffle, true, but it is sort of theatrical for emphasis, and i have heard it used like that in conversation. (someone talking like a superhero, say.)
Apparently, it doesn't like 'I won't let you down' or I won't disappoint you'.
Meatwad: You didn’t pay the water bill, did you?
Master Shake: Or the electricity. That’s why you gotta do it. You’re my main man.
Meatwad: I am?
Master Shake: Everybody knows. I say it to so many people.
Meatwad: I knew you’d come around to me.
Master Shake: Here, hop on the TV and await further instructions.
Meatwad: I will not fail you. Wolverines!
Is this a sentence that is used a lot in Denmark? Like, do people actually say this?
i will not fail you not accepted ?!#?@!!?
I suppose the capital I and the exclamation mark are mandatory
Thou art correct, but how gotst thou out of the 16th century of Our Lord? ;)
