Learn Mando'a

Kandosii!
I'm a yahoo messenger girl, but will do skype as well.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm afraid I have some irreconcilable differences with facebook, so I'm out.

Here's hoping somebody will volunteer soon.

Olarom, Marcus.
Hope you enjoy your stay.

I want to suggest 'shaad' for movement/motion.

nushaad'la - motionless
shaadlar - to move

Okay, first batch. Not sure how to display the table I used properly here, so beware of fromatting. XD I could not find any pattern as to how words for job descriptions end. Consequently I do as I please, aka what sounds best to my ears. Not sure what the difference between cook and chef is. If it's...

Nice list.
I'll take some time this weekend to thin about it.
(I'm currently too caught up with stuff like meganuclease, promoter elements, telomer length and polymerase chain reactions. Should be done with it soon, though. )

And a new one for a change....

Though I wonder if I am even allowed to run. You know, I feel quite content creating on this site.
Eh, whatevs, kaysh meg miit'gaana, oyacyi. (Bal kaysh cuy ni.)

I guess we can change the title when we move to a new word or something? I was just wondering. There is no word for 'too' as in 'too big', 'too old', 'too late'. Only for 'too many' and since that is derived from 'nayc solus'* I don't think we can use it to derive other 'toos' from it. So I keep usi...

Shab. Ori du'caryc.

But that's UTC-5 isn't it? Makes it 1am from where I sit. Darasuum solus.
Ah, well. Mirdala vode lise mar'eyir ner gai o'r skype. Ke'miit'gana o'r Mando'a bal ni ven'majyci gar.
Ni mirdi.

Wo?

No wait...

Erm, ok? I mean I can see where vod'ad comes from and I could probably build a case for it being in keeping with ba'vodu if I can make the 'ba' a shortened, vowel shifted version of buir. It'd be something like ba'vodu - father of a brother vod'ad - brother's child Wait. Am I devil's advocate for my...

ba'ad is a great idea, keeping the 'ba' of the uncle-relationship and having the 'ad' of child. I'd use it niece/nephew, though. Attempt at logic: vod - brother, same family line (telling that this is the default) ba'vod(u) - brother of another family line ad - child of the same family line ba'ad - ...

In case you'd rather read the stuff here than on fanfiction.net. (Where I can easily be found under this name...) This is the one I got signed by Karen Traviss. My pride and joy.

There is the wrd for aunt/uncle ba'vodu. But I am stumped, trying to find the counterpart niece/nephew. Is it me? Am I blind*? Dikut'la? Nu'liser'la? * Another word I cannot find. Did you make up one already? Otherwise I'd suggest nur'haai as mix of 'nu', the negative marker, and 'sur'haai' for eye....

I meant any of you here.
And if so, what and why? And in Mando letters as well?
Iz so curious.
