Re: On the dar'manda concept
So I've been thinking... This all seems a bit philosophical, so could we turn this practical? We all know the resol'nare. Education, armor, self-defense, our tribe, our language, our leader, all help us survive. I know helping people is usually opportunistic, but could we all put our buy'ce together...

Re: Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)
*looks at Ruus* Wanna wait to see if anyone else likes this? If nobody else is interested, I'll prep a one on one campaign, and we can absolutely speak in pure Mando'a if you like. If anyone else speaks up, with more than two or three people it may get complicated, so I'd probably ask you to put you...

Tabletop Roleplaying without Tables (5th Ed. D&D?)
'Cuy! So I've been thinking... My latest obsession has been this tabletop gaming thing (I seem to accumulate hobbies, lol), and I was wondering if anyone would be willing to read their (the company that makes D&D) free PDF player's manual, make a character, and play over the forum. If you already kn...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically
You guys feel free to keep discussing the other issues, but I'd like to bring up another big thing. So, there's this new mindset I've been seeing more of in workplaces, and it has been in mine for awhile. My boss recently took me aside and praised my new work ethic (I've gradually been becoming more...

Re: Applying Our Culture Practically
How dikut'la of me to forget dogtags... Along the line of clothing (no pun intended, ori'haat), what about suits for us churchgoers? Suits are expensive, not very durable, and uncomfortable; however, maybe in this case something normally purposeless is actually purposefull because society deems suit...

Re: What are we?
I've thought on this lots, and here's my own conclusion: follow the resol'nare the best you can at every opportunity and claim to be Mandalorian. Easier said than done, but fairly simple. Also, this is a line of 'yes' or 'no'. Whether or not you're mandakarla is something to ask someone in your alii...

Applying Our Culture Practically
There are some issues I've found where there's a gap between the Mando ideal and the actual actions. For instance, the resol'nare. Armor doesn't seem practical in today's day. I apply it as keeping a weapon on me at all times and wearing practical clothes (durable, cheap, and with less noticeable co...

Re: On the dar'manda concept
I came shabla close to being dar'manda, and, if it weren't for my jatne'vod, I would've crossed that line. Because of that, I can sum it up. It's when your aliit can't trust you and/or when you aren't supporting your aliit (financially, materially, emotionally, time-wise, etc.). Mando'ade mutually h...

Re: Welcome to Learn Mando'a! (Post Here to Introduce Yourse
I'm aweful at introductions. As for my name, I could use some advice for creating an aliit (Atin Vencu, maybe) as I only have an aruetyc name at the moment. I should point out that I have a limited vocabulary, but I've been learning the (Mando'ade'la?) way for several years now. K'oya'cyi.
