Can someone help me translate the phrase 'Your World' into Latin? I think it is Vester Mundi but I'm not certain. Thanks!

@noved,
Close. Mundus Vester if "you" is plural.
If "you" is singular, then Mundus Tuus.

@George,
Gratias ago tibi! ... I hope Google got that right.

Thank you very much, George for that blazing fast response. It is truly appreciated. We are trying to name a fledgling cooperative business, and 'Your World' was on the list of options. The "Your" part is indeed plural so it seems we will be considering Mundus Vester.

That reminds me: Is 'Mundus' pronounced as it appears - Mun-dus, or would it be closer to Moon-dus? I'm assuming emphasis is on the first syllable.

@noved,
It would be closer to moon-dus and, yes, accent on the first syllable.

@George,
Uh-oh, I thinked of other versions, and more questions. Would 'Your Earth' translate as Terra Vester?

What about 'Our World'?

I'm also curious about the construction of Mundus Vester. Why is it backwards? I'm guessing the literal translation would be: 'The world that is yours.' Is that correct?

Yes.

Mundus Noster

In Latin it is usual for the adjective to follow the noun it modifies.

> I'm guessing the literal translation would be: 'The world that is yours.'
> Is that correct?
No.

Hi noved,

@selectmytutor,
This translation is mostly likely taken from "Google Translate".
Be aware that this is the dative or ablative case, not the nominative.
