How does it change in a sentence?

In a sentence, the form of the word changes based on its role. Use victōriam when victory is the direct object of a verb. Use victōriae to indicate possession or a relationship, meaning "of victory".

Did you know?

  • The word victōria shares its root with the Latin word vincere, meaning 'to conquer', which is also the ancestor of the English word 'convict'.
  • The adjective 'victorious' comes from the same root, but in Latin, the word vīctus actually refers to being 'conquered' or 'defeated' rather than winning.
  • To mark a victōria, Romans used the laurel wreath, which became such a strong symbol that it inspired the English expression 'resting on one's laurels'.

Examples in context

  • Victōria est magna.
    The victory is great.
  • Glōria et victōria veniunt.
    Glory and victory come.
  • Post victōriam laetē rīdēmus.
    After the victory, we laugh happily.
