Learn Mando'a

Another thought- for further insight, I looked at how I might convey the -ness suffix if I were to speak freely. The result surprised me somewhat- after a year or two (I've really lost count) of learning and speaking Mando'a, I hadn't thought twice about it. Take the example sentence "The dryness is...

I think this is where it circles back around to the whole ‘Mando’a seems pretty feely’ thing…
(In the sense of being nebulous)

I really do want to emphasize my point about situationality. One circumstance where electric instruments might be especially helpful is when volume is needed- even amplification of acoustic instruments falls under this category for me. Also, it does seem like people could just have ab individual int...

Interesting. Two notes- one would be to include Q as one of the names taken from Aurebesh, given its absence in the original mandalorian alphabet. The second thing would be less of the 'ae' pattern- it seemed unnatural to me, and I double checked- no Mando'a word uses it. Overall, though, interestin...

With regards to the electric/acoustic thing- I do agree that acoustic music would likely be more common. The thought behind the electric part was that it might be more practical for storage on a ship or something to that effect. Given the constant supply of energy, the usage of electric instruments ...

It doesn't align exactly, but the first thing that comes to mind is 'aran', guard. This comes from 'ara'novor', to guard, and might follow the rule by making use of the conveniently available -an already in the verb.

There are two things I think are important to recognise here. For one, this is intended to be/retconned as archaic Mando'a. For instance, jorso'ran is explained as being a future-tense form (something about 'shall') that is no longer present in modern Mando'a. Because of this whole thing, I agree it...

I still think that this -an thing is a significant pattern- I can recall it showing up in other places as well. The whole thing brings to mind the preexisting fan system for gerunds (also adding -an)... seeing as Mando'a is intended to be a simplistic language, how this suffix is already prevalent, ...

Interesting look into this pattern- I hadn’t considered it myself. I figured I’d add that the way I usually create the part of speech you’re describing is to just add ‘ad to the end of whatever I was trying to agent-ify. To relate it to your example, verborir might become verbor’ad. Or, akaan would ...

After somethig of a hiatus, I'm back "Undone (The Sweater Song)" by Weezer. With this one, I found it interesting how some of the wording, especially in the chorus, forced me to translate in a way that was more direct and arguably mando-sounding... Dialogue between the verses included! Hey vod, me’v...

Ori’vore, ni suvari jii! Ni ru’mirdi ya’gai teh ‘yaim’ bal ‘gai’, ibac ne’tom be ner nu’suvaran. Ibac ori’jate, briikase evaar simir! Tion gar ru’ja’haili eyn rugam’daaban?

Tion gar pirimmu “ori’yagaise” bal “hakbase” par? Nu’ni kar’tayli ibace miite.

Ni mirdi ni ru'haa'tatyli ibac miite, a nu'gana an kebise meg liniba'la gotal'ur bic. Ni ru'pirimmu ge'tsikala alayi teh kebi'yaim bal magyci kih ashi kebise.

Ni ru’gotal’u uj tug’yc. Bic gana gett’se, a nu’ru ori’yai’yai.

Elek! Ru ori’paak’la, a ru ori’jate.

Jatisyc! Ni ru’gotal’u tiingilar sa “Miit’bines be Boba Vhett” yogi, a ni pirimmu kih’shya jate miite de gayi’kartay.

Kandosii! Janad skraan ratiin ori’jate. Tion gar gotal’u be naas ra pirimmu miite b’ash’ad?
