Examples

“hic status in caelō multōs permānsit in annōs”

This state [of things] in heaven endured for many years

“Hoc habent inter cētera bonī mōrēs: placent sibi, permanent. Levis est malitia; saepe mūtātur, nōn in melius sed in aliud.”

This, among other things, is a feature of good morals: they are their own satisfaction, [and] they endure. Wickedness is fickle; it is often changeable, not for the better but into something different. (Translating more literally for the sake of the third-person plural placent and permanent; however, boni mores can also be understood as the combination of traits that make up someone’s good character: it endures.)
