Learn Mando'a

Olarom, an!

Now, I often come up with interpretations of things that not everyone agrees with, so bear that in mind when I make suggestions. I'm a little conflicted about gotal'mesh for art, since that implies to me "to create beauty" which kiiinda works, but in this context I feel like art more means a skillfu...

Olarom!

No idea how often the admins check in, but I take a look here every few days!

Instead of bral, how about keldab?

Colloquially, you can drop several words from the prayer to make it more natural for Mando'a. In particular: • Your - Gar • Will - copad (desire/ambition) dajun (plan) narser (purpose) narseryc (determined/resolute) vercopa (wish/dream) • be - cuyir (conjugate) • done - ani (total/complete) • on - b...

Olarom! Don't worry about the grammar, it's simple and fairly regular and you'll pick it up in no time. There's a lot of useful resources out there for picking it up, though we all have our preferences. My personal choice would be Tal'jair's, which you can find an older version of here https://forum...

I actually code switch fairly often, my wife's first language is Russian, which I only know a smattering of, though she's perfectly fluent in English as well, and we'll frequently use a mix of all 3 languages for various things around the house. "хочешь shig?" is a very common phrase to hear from me

Olarom!

Olarom! Always happy to help

I feel like, to a certain extent, it's going to follow how often you move. A bes'bev is great for a soldier, it's small and low profile/weight. Maybe for a slightly more in depth home, you'd likely find easily moveable but more bulky instruments like guitars/balalaikas, and the least familiar instru...
