As a response to an e-mail, I was attempting to say:
No, I don't think I will outlive her. She is healthier than I am.
What I wrote was:
No, no creo que le sobreviva a ella. Ella está más sana que yo.
After sending the e-mail, I began to question if what I wrote was even understandable.
How close did I get? Should I have used an infinitive instead of a subjunctive construction in the first sentence since there is no change in pronoun or is the subjunctive okay?
