Mando'a grammar?

What are Mando'a grammar rules? By this I mean: - Is there a commonly used copula (verb "to be", English present tense being "is", "am", "are"), and what are its conjugations? - Word inflections, called conjugation for verbs - Word order, and where do other words like adjectives fit in to it?

Re: Welcome to Learn Mando'a! (Post Here to Introduce Yourself)

Su’cuy! To be honest, I only learned Mando’a was a language about a week ago. But naturally, when I did, I tried to learn it. So, I found this website. I’m so excited to learn the language of the Mandalorians, probably my favorite culture from Star Wars. And so close to May 4th too! To start off, I ...
