      I would say “el mundo esta mal” but I’ve the whole American child of Puerto Rican immigrants casualness going on so I don’t know if it’s correct.

      (“_ is bad” is a different statement from “bad _”; English uses the same word for both, Spanish doesn’t necessarily, and I don’t know what either one is called because [jazz hands])

      I dunno if there's a more formal term for it but it's just the condition vs characteristic distinction Like if you wanted to be super specific in English you'd say "She is in good condition" vs "She is of good character"

      Interestingly this is a grammatical/usage distinction in English specifically when saying someone is "good", the "well/good" distinction, which in the negative sense is "poor/bad" It's just that that distinction is evolving away in modern language

      Like your second grade English teacher will likely admonish you to never answer "How are you?" with "I'm good" rather than "I'm well" "He asked *how* you were, not what kind of a person you are, and it's very arrogant to proclaim that you are good"

          But as you can see this already sounds kind of funny in a modern English speaker's ear Cf. how the correct negative answer to this question is "I'm poor" but the language has already evolved to the point where "I'm poor" specifically refers to your financial situation

          “How are you doing” still gets you there though

          ...Is this why people compare me to an English teacher in a bad way when they’re looking for that style of accusation, istg It’s not even my native language, I’m just autistic

          And if it's "I'm doing good", the standard response is "*Superman* does good"
