Clarification of Question by neomaximus10-ga on 21 Jan 2005 14:35 PST

that phrase may be a little harder to translate, im looking for an
english to latin translation, discard that previous one, the new one i
would like translated is:

"Fight the worlds wickedness"

Hello.

I'd go with:

"Pugnate nequitiam mundi."


pugnate (imperative case, plural): "fight!"
nequitiam (accusative case, singular): "wickedness"
mundi: (genitive/possessive case, singular): "of the world"

search strategy:
My own knowledge of Latin, plus these searches:
pugnate fight
nequitiam wickedness
mundi "of the world" latin

I hope this helps. Good luck!
