Learn Mando'a

QUESTION I - VERB CONJUGATION 1. Passive Tense I wasn't sure if it has already been covered, but I have been trying to puzzle out a way to create a passive conjugation of verbs. I am hazarding the guess that this could make extensive use of the verb cuyir almost as a conjugational prefix. Examples:...

Sounds good.

Everything must be understood in context: Do I live a long time ago n a galaxy far, far away? No. Do I hunt bounties or serve as a mercenary soldier? No. Do I know where to find a good roba steak? No. As an analogy, though, consider Romeo and Juliet. A fictional tale, but one that is timelessly iden...

Forgive my ignorance, but what is a VD card?

Adi'karta, I was reading through your list of words with great interest. It caused me to wonder: Do we have a thread (possibly sticky and locked) of 'new' words that, while perhaps not recognized (yet!) by anyone else, we have at least agreed upon here at mandoa.org to flesh out the Mando'a language...

These are words I am having trouble locating or discovering if they even already exist in canonical Mando'a: Positional: top, bottom, above, below, left, right, front, back, behind, in front of, next to, Temporal: next, after, previous, before, soon, simultaneously ('same time'; I could find 'time',...

So, I had this idea in my head for a funny picture: http://i962.photobucket.com/albums/ae102/mando_raeth/Mandoa%20bal%20Mandoade/kandosii_gehatik_vod-0001_zps7779ede4.jpg Do you get it? There is a hint after the 'spoiler' cut. OK, well, I was just playing around with some ideas. 8D Would love to see...

This week has been crazy busy, so I haven't done my Skype chat yet. That said, participating in screenaholic 's weekly chat (see: http://forum.mandoa.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=63 ) was a lot of fun, even if I had to leave early to wrangle my ad'ise . Anyway, I still am very much planning to do Mando'...

Olarom , Parjai! As has been said, nice name translation! I am so excited to see evaarla vode like myself. It feels like we can learn from the experienced and long-term ori'vode while bringing a fresh renaissance to the Mando'a and Mando'ade community. I hope we have many opportunities to learn fro...

After re-reading and mulling over your posts: 1. Membership - You're right, we are a niche interest group. So, expanding our range of activities while keeping our core of Mando'a language/Mando'ade culture fan-study would help with something every group must consider: Recruiting new members. 2. Vari...

I've been experiencing some slowness with the translator while using it in the midst of live communication (weekly Mando'a chats). Has anyone else noticed this? Sometimes I have noticed lag, and other times not. It seemed to come and go, and it wasn't just during the live chat. But, overall, it has...

So, I bought a new jacket last night to wear at work, which I love! And, I met the interim store manager. She's OK, but more company material than I am. I helped shovel a ton of snow and pushed carts in the snow and wind. Let's see, what else? Oh, yeah... I JUMPED INTO THE WINDOW OF A MOVING TRUCK T...

I think I could actually make that! Yay! Thank you... ori'vore!

Oya, ner vod! Briikase Evaar'la Simir! Happy New Year! (well, many hours away yet, but I work tonight; so...) New Year is my favorite time of the year, a time of celebration, introspection, and renewed hope and goals - Cin Vhetin! Whether I accomplish them or not, I do love me some New Year's resolu...

I love the idea! I have (most weeks) Sunday nights and Wednesday nights off. I think having regularly scheduled chats is brilliant. If I can humbly suggest and offer, I may also do the same on off nights if I cannot participate in your chats. I know we've discussed this a couple times elsewhere, and...

As a big fan of compartmentalization, I have a Facebook account specifically for my interests in regards to Mandalorians, Mando'a, and the like:

Feel free to friend me if you like, and no offense taken if you don't.

Oya Manda! Vode an!

Sigh. I have to work, of course. I am thinking of starting Wednesday and Sunday chats following the New Year, however. So.... soon! Details forthcoming.

Merry Christmas, Happy Haunakah, Blessed Yule, and every other one that I can't think off the top of my had. And most importantly, I threw together a Mando'a Life-day word (Oya'tuur) so: Briikase Oya'tuur! I like it! :thumbup: Briikase Oya'tuur, ner vod'e! Easier to say than my own, Happy New Hallo...

Felicitous holiday greetings, ner vod'e! I wish you all the best and merriest of times with you and yours!

Also, though our 'aliit' here may yet be small, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for being part of the Mando'a community with me!

Oya!

a friend of mine is doing a chatroom tonight, 1000 EST.
If anyone has the time, we'd love to have you.

I work...
Sounds ori'jate, though!
