Caduntur

Caduntur is a Latin verb, the third-person plural present passive indicative form of the verb cadere. Cadere means "to fall," "to happen," or "to die." Therefore, "caduntur" literally translates to "they are fallen," "they are happening," or "they are dying." In classical Latin literature, this form is most commonly used to describe things falling, such as leaves from trees, or in a more metaphorical sense, to describe the fall of a city or the death of soldiers. The specific context of its use will determine the most accurate interpretation. For example, "Urbs caditur" would mean "the city is falling." The passive voice in Latin often implies that the subject is undergoing the action rather than performing it, which is crucial for understanding the meaning of "caduntur." It is a common and fundamental verb form encountered in the study of Latin.
