Nefsinizle inat edin

I know inat etmek = to persevere or to persist

So the meaning is - you persist with .....?

I have no idea about the meaning of nef???

 this could be completely wrong but is it something like to obtain and arch or nave?

here, "to resist" is a better translation for inat etmek.

nefis is an arabic word, it means the ego, or the part of yourself which always want something, the desires, the wishes of yourself.

so, your sentence means "stand against to yoursefl/your ego/your wishes"

edit: I read it "nefsinize", now I should ask: is it nefsinizle or nefsinize?

Thanks for your help caliptix,

It was taken from the Ãste mutluluk formülü and written as

nefsinizle, but it may have been typed up incorrectly, but I have seen two other references typed the same way.

The formula also has nefesinizi boþa tüketmeyin (don´t waste your breath)

so I assume the other spellings are OK

nefsinizle doesn´t make sense much actually, but it may mean "with your ego, with yourself", not agaisnt to it. But really, nefis is generally (almost always) used for the bad part of human. So it doesn´t make sense much for me.
