Well, Latin always becomes a problem nowadays, lol. The sentence is just a bit different. I mean, this is a Gregorian CHANT, whose title is "AVE, MUNDI SPES, MARIA!" (I didn´t ever hear it though). You may google it and maybe even listen to it thru Youtube or other music or catholic site, OK? So you know that "chant" comes from medieval French and/or English, meaning a liturgical melody or a repetitive song, either beautiful or not. The rest is in Latin, with its strange words order in sentence, but it´s ok. Thus... " Hail, Mary: hope of the world! " < - hail < Ave! (> Hi! Hey! Hello! < Greetings!) - Mary < Maria - [the] hope < spes / spei (in genitive case, one should always learn every word with this 2nd ending for the case of needing to use; Latin is so...) - (of the) world < mundi (right in genitive case, meaning possession; nominative for subject would be "mundus", the very word for "world"). Latin used no articles, and the diversified endings on words made some prepositions not necessary. I forgot a lot of it, so now I don´t even know anything anymore; just a few words and structures for short translations. Hope this one is useful.
