Learn Mando'a

Olarom, Shay!

I've been gone so long I feel the need to reintroduce myself. I'm Steven, or Cuyan, a graphic designer based in Illinois. I've been a diehard Mando fan since SWI #86 and I'm proud to say that has never left. I've been gone for a while, focusing on school, life, and work, but those are a bit settled ...

As I'm on droid, Hangouts is my messenger app. So it works really well for messaging for me...

CuyanAtinii [at] gmail [dot] com

We can chat about you, about me, what were both up to. Drop me a line.

This page is getting a bit cluttered with discussion.
Discussion is good, though, so I decided to make this thread. Post questions, responses, spotted errors, and such there.

Always good to hear that my link is being seen!

Are you going to do a second one with your Mythosaur skull, too? I can. It doesnt lend itself as well to having an outline, but I can still throw it together to show. ...figure out how to say those in Mando'a. Ruug - old, archaic oya'karan - hunter (nounified from hunt) I would alternately be fine ...

Here's this -

I took a stab at the Mando'a Skull.


Also, Raeth, I vectorized your whole crest. What (non-mando'a) font did you use?
Ill put that up when I have it finalized.

I imagine the videos would be formatted similarly to this ? If that's the case, it would be funny to have video of me (or anyone) in armor and dub the voice over it. Also, it will probably be important to have a few people preview the videos prior to their being uploaded to check for pronunciation a...

Is there a difference or is the dictionary wrong on one?

They are two words to express similar concepts. Its like adate and droten.

As always, though, make sure the word means what you think it does.
Like with 'bah' and 'at.' both mean 'to,' but different kinds of 'to.'

Naux: - Chotav cuyi oyacy, par dral ganar staabi ke’gyce. Not sure what you meant by chotav . Chortav is street? Ganar shouldn't be infinitive. - Ijaat cuyi oyacy, par ti n’ijaat solus Vercopa cuyir kyr’am. Don't capitalize vercopa . - Verburyc cuyi oyacy, par ures gar alit solus gana nunarser. Dont...

It is great to see Mando'a spread in any form, and wish you the best in this endeavor.

Awesome to see more people getting in to costuming as well. 1 - Updated my first post.. Let that go to show you should never decide something looks "good enough". You can always do it again better. 2 - Should we have a logo or clan-esk patch we could paint on armor to specify being a part of this gr...

Glad to see you on here, Parjai! I envy your ability to translate your name so directly. I assume you are on the Mando Mercs forum as well? Off topic, but I don't know where better to post it: I will not be able to spend much time here before the summer. I'm going to Germany for part of the semester...

I came across this, and decided to take a stab at making it rhyme. It's from KT's book Order 66 “Education and armor, Self-defense, our tribe, Our language and our leader— All help us survive” Ba'jur bal beskar'gam, Ara'nov, aliit, Mando'a bal Mand'alor— An vencuyan mhi. Mine - Beskar'gam bal Bajur ...

Wow! Leave the country for a few days, and all this happens!
Olarom, an! I'm so glad to see things pick up on here after so much inactivity.

Nabterayl, not bad. I can pm you if you want more.
Everyone else, awesome to see some more people with similar interests to myself

Su'cuy vaar'ike! Vlade - pm me if you ever want help with anything, learning or name-choosing OriVerda - Cant say I know of any mando'a music past what Jesse Harlin made for RC. As for plurals, just add "-e". "Verda" is archaic, with the correct modern way to say it being "verde." I dont think I kno...

Nice catch. Thanks

Made these.
