Anyone know Latin?

[MsAmerica]

We all know the phrase “Sic transit gloria mundi” - meaning "Thus passes the glory of the world."

But how would one say just "Thus passes the world"? Would that be “Sic transit mundus” or “Sic transit mundum” or what?

I think you need the dative or the ablative case

So it would be mundo I think

I wouldn’t worry, according to this entirely not crazy woman on TikTok, the Romans and Latin aren’t real and were invented by the Spanish Inquisition 😳😂 twitter.com/cogitoergo15?s=21

If it’s the world that’s doing the passing, surely it would be mundus.

Yes it's unclear, I thought it was something going past the world.

Sic transit mundus.

amo amas amat?

Nominative, innit?

Hm. Seems like "mundus" to me. In the original, "gloria" is the subject, so it's replaced by "mundus," the nominative.

The computer is trying to change it to "mounds."

Amo, amas , amat ,amamus amatis amant!!!!!?

Veni vidi vici!!!!!!

Nominative, so sic transit mundus.

Sic transit mundus

"Mundus" is, in fact, the subject of this sentence. It hence needs to be in nominative case.

Same as in English, as a matter of fact!

Sic transit mundum

@LarryVeest

Nominative, innit?

I would have thought so

@blyn72

Sic transit mundum

No, because 'world' needs to be the subject of (i.e. doing the action of) the verb, so nominative - mundus.
