Learn Mando'a

If we try this out and like it, I'm willing to get a decent microphone for clear recording. I'd like to think my pronunciation is good, but I don't think any of us here have really spoken to each other. We really need to skype or tinychat or something. My Timezone is +10 GMT (eastern australia time...

so Any traction on this idea? I would love to have this especially seeing as I'm in Australia.

I recently wrote something and want to see if it makes any sense. Mando'a : Ner buir, ni kar'taylir darasuum. Ner Buir, ni partayli darasuum. Ner Buir, Gar darasuum oyacyir bat o'r ner. Ner Buir, Gar jatne be to jatne. Ner buir, ni ven'ijaat bah cuyi gar ad. Ni su'cuyi, gar kyr'adyc, ni partayli, ga...

Su'cuyi Ner Vod,

ner gar gui Argen Tium.

nu'vaabir.

mircin = cage

we could use that as a root and then use directionals to indicate a wall or floor or ceiling.

I believe the difference between ibac and meg is like so: " That ( ibac ) is the train that ( meg ) I'm going to ride."

Maybe ca'chaab?

and what is the difference between meg (that) and ibac (that) I think it might be the same as in bah and at right where meg is used preceding an action where ibac is to establish possession right?

At means to as in "I'm going to work." Bah is dative, which means it designates the indirect object of an action as in "Princess Leia gave a medal to Han and Luke." Princess Leia is the subject, gave is the verb, the medal is the direct object, and Han and Luke are the indirect objects. to Han and ...

Birov and ori'sol Is there a difference or is the dictionary wrong on one? They are two words to express similar concepts. Its like adate and droten.

dar'cuy = is gone. right? I was thinking also ven kyrayc

ge'kyrayc seems to fit better (almost dead)

dying = ven'cuy kyrayc

nightmare = chaab vercopa
