Learn Mando'a

Welp, it's glorious to have activity on this board. I'd be somewhat remiss if I didn't point you towards these folks: http://aliitsolyc.com/
The guy who started went from a horrid lifestyle to a wonderful, active, engaging life. All fueled by Mandalorian philosophy. More members are always welcome!

Ni kar'tayl ibac aalar, vod. Ner bora yaihi'l b'shabuire.

Also, something structural. We have no word for floor, ceiling, roof, wall, door or window.

While you might not say as many words to your family as you do to others, you spend more time talking to your family or very close friends than you do talking to any *one* person. For instance, due to my job, and my father's, I've spoken with people of just about every accent possible on a regular b...

Mando'a is an internal language, basically one giant shibboleth. You'd likely spend most of your time talking with people you knew well. Family and other Mandalorians from the community in the immediate "area", be that area physical or informational, would be who you dealt with the most. Think about...

Mando'a is a social imperative, not a basic communication tool. Remember, few people spoke only Mando'a, so it's actually very likely dialects would have sprung up based on family. Also, if we assume Aliitla'miite was the word for dialect, then la'miite is a natural slang version. It's certainly wha...

Eh, ner'jahaal nu'jate ib'tuur. Balyc, ner vaar haa'vod cuy di'kutla. Nu'jatne.

Shab, meh'shi ni lise pirur ib'ca! Trikar'la, ni ke'borar nakar'tuur...
Ret'pirimmu "entey," nu"enteyo"?

I like the words. I do wonder how we should handle plurals here, though, as "clan-wordses" is a bit cumbersome. The Aliit'Org idea is interesting, and I like it. Overall, your method of constructing neologisms in Mando'a mirrors my own. When you look at the "official" Mando'a we know of, it becomes ...

Just about anything would work for me.
On the scheduling, I should have some free time during the next few weeks, we're supposed to have half days. Not sure if that'll really happen, but still...
I wouldn't say it's too rigid, it might be a good start.

That would work. If not everyone wants to get skype, tinychat is an easy alternative as well.

Give me a time and I'll do everything I can to be there. My schedule is rather insane, but I can still fit in time.
I'm very pleased that this board has activity once again!

Perhaps what you want is an imperative prefix? Ke'gyce means order, ke is the commanding prefix... ke'bora? Short, euphonic, and I think the meaning is what you might be looking for... or perhaps ke'nar. The action one must take.

It really is packed with interesting information. Not only the Mandalorian bit, the rest fleshes things out nicely as well.

Seeing as my company knows I speak it, they often ask for random phrases o'r Mando'a. Usually it's stuff we don't even have words for yet, so I wind up needing to be creative, but I usually remember to look up anything I struggled with when I get back to my computer.

olarom, solus bal an!

Yes, that's the one!

Okay, here's what we have: Naturally, we already had buy'ce, kom'rk and cetar... Left and right parts of the armor, instead of being referred to by payt and staabi, are referred to by the weapons commonly held in the respective hands. The right side's plates are the beskad plates, and the left is th...

Anyone else here picked up this book? It turns out there's a bit of new info on Mando'a in here, including names for all the plates on the armor. When I have some time later, I'll post a list.

Ni ori'borar ti gayi'kaabe ib'ca'nara. Ni ke'bajur serimyc jorad'pirimmur par ner bora. Ni cuy ni, ni dajuna riduur'ar solus mando'a miit at bic Basic riduur. Bajurir Mando'a vaal bajuri ashi kar'tayl jate'bora par ni. May'ad copaani gaa'tayl?
