HOw does one express
"I would rather ..... die than reveal my sources to you "
I don not want to express say
I would prefer ........> prefería
I would rather is much more emphatic.
Thoughts and comments welcome as always
Nev

Hola Nev,
"Preferiría" is unfortunately the word you would need to say this, and I can't really think of any other word to replace it, unless you want to change your phrase.
Lets say...*"¡Me tendras que matar, no revelaré mi fuente de información!"*
_You will have to kill me, I won't reaveal my information source_
Otherwise if you simply use *Prefiero* (_I prefer_) instead of *Preferiría* (_I would prefer_) adds a more dramatic effect to the phrase... I prefer to die!!!.... it even works in English.
I hope that helps.
Mauricio.
