Question
what is "Leave your mark on the world" in latin

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Hello,

Here’s the translation you asked me:

“Tuam in mundo imprime formam”.

Note that:

-Leave = IMPRIME

-your = TUAM (accusative feminine agreed with FORMAM)

-mark = FORMAM

-on = IN

-the world =MUNDO (ablative as IN takes the ablative).

As you can see, Latin word order is different from English.

Best regards,
Maria
