so this concept has been in my head for a while and I’m happy to finally get it out 😌✨. it was meant for Halloween, but I think it fits true crime or horror vibes as well.

mandalorian language guide

mandalorian language guide (aka, Mando’a 101)

STAR WARS MASTERLIST

I wrote all of the sentences myself (almost every word was hunted down by me) except the phrases/sentences that I could not translate word-for-word, like the Mandalorian marriage contract or common sayings. I cross-checked between sources, but I may have gotten some things wrong because I’m not fluent in Mando’a.

Feel free to use these phrases in your writing. I’ll be adding more words, sentences, and phrases as time goes on.

The first section will be pronouns/conjunctions/misc categorized from English to Mando’a and the rest will be categorized from Mando’a to English, except for the final review section.

SOURCES

If you want to go looking for some more words/phrases, these were the websites that I used.

A Mando’a translator that may not be as accurate as the following websites, but it works:

https://lingojam.com/Mandoa-EnglishTranslator

Has a lot Mandalorian words and phrases:

Categorized A to Z and is a very large database, I’d suggest using command or control F and typing in the word you want to look up before scrolling endlessly to find a word:

fixing this mando’a guide

like op, i am not fluent on mando’a, but i write with it frequently. anyone who is fluent in a conlang is a total nerd. it is important to note that cross referencing with decades old forum/blog posts for a conlang with an official dictionary is generally a bad idea, because thats how you get words like “yooba” included in a guide about mando’a. yooba specifically comes from this dialect, which, although in universe was meant to be related to mando’a, was created before mando’a was actually set in stone and has many words that do not correlate at all with how mando’a words are constructed.

i also do not know what the best way to learn a second language is, so this will mainly be fixing incorrectly translated and inaccurate words. the review sections will not be touched out of redundancy, but i will make sure to include missing information along with corrections

the- te, haa. it is important to note that “the” is rarely used in mando’a. haa is even more rare, as it is archaic (think thee in english)

a/an- eyn. this is also rarely used

you/your- gar (both singular and plural)

are- cuy, this is a conjugated form of the verb “cuyir” (to be) and is usually dropped and indicated by word order.

solus can mean one; alone, vulnerable; each; individual; united, as one, but not are.

ni also means me as well as I

but- a, a’, or al (al is often used before a vowel)

he, him, his; her, hers; they, them, theirs (singular)- kaysh

they, them, theirs (plural)- val

dinji is not a word, and i have not been able to find it in any of op’s references or on wookieepedia. op probably meant dini’la, which means insane, crazy, mad.

utreekov literally translates to empty headed (original translation is fine)

mir’osik is not an official word but is at least derived from actual mando’a; mir is a prefix meaning things like “mind” or “brain” and osik is basically shit.

mirsh’kyramud literally translates to brain assassin (original translation is fine again, but you can see why I wanted to give the literal translations right?)

Official translation of chakaar is “corpse robber, thief, petty criminal (general term of abuse)”

di’kut is generally not a severe insult, it means idiot, useless individual, waste of space and literally translates to someone who forgets to put their pants on.

—

“You are beautiful” would be “Gar cuy mesh’la” or more likely just “Gar mesh’la”

“I love you.” would be “Ni kar’tayl darasuum gar.” this is an emphatic term for it, like “te amo” in spanish.

“Udesii, cyar’ika.” is correct and does mean “calm down sweetheart” but it would probably get you punched in the face.

“You are my family.” would be “Gar cuy ner aliit” or “Gar ner aliit”

“You are my idiot, darling” would be “Gar cuy ner [utreekov], cyar’ika” or “Gar ner [utreekov], cyar’ika.” Original mentions you can switch out the insult (utreekov), but make sure you know what the insult you do use means!

“Damn it, you are beautiful” would be “Haar’chack, gar cuy mesh’la” or “Haar’chak, cuy mesh’la”

even replacing yooba and solus, cyare is a noun and “Gar cuy cyare” would not make sense grammatically. The only official term for love is “kar'taylir darasuum” which describes a very emphatic thing and is not thrown around lightly. cyar can be derived as an (unofficial) less heavy term for it, so either cyar’la or cyaryc could be loved. please know that if you want to translate stuff like this, you’re going to be in for a lot of work and it might be better to just stick to something easier.

“You are a mother” would most likely be “Gar buir,” but could be “Gar cuy buir” or “Gar cuy eyn buir” if you want to be wordy about it. also it would be “you are a parent” because mando’a does not denote gender unless you specifically use the words for male or female, which you would not do in regular conversation.

“Darling, I love you” would be “Cyar’ika, ni kar’tayl darasuum gar” but remember! emphatic term.

—

“K’atini!” can mean, along with suck it up, “its only pain”

The Mandalorian marriage vows are translated officially as “We are one when together, we are one when parted, we will share all, we will raise warriors”

that’s all that’s fixed for this guide, but if you want to look into mando’a more, here are some resources i suggest!

mandoa.org has the entire dictionary transcribed and ready to use. it doesn’t have things like parts of speech and grammar, but if you want to make sure what you’re saying is canon, this is the best place to check!

there is also this google spreadsheet which includes grammar, phrases, the alphabet, numerals… lots of things. it also has (clearly marked) fanmade words so you don’t have to spend too long trying to make up new words a lot of the time!

i also have put together my own personal dictionary of hard to search (short) mando’a words. i’ve taken a few words from the spreadsheet i linked that are fanmade, those are marked with an asterisk. i made it for personal use but i’ve found it extremely useful while translating things! looking up “an” or “i” in the full dictionary is… not fun.

my last tip is to have an english dictionary open as you translate things, sometimes its easy to forget what parts of speech the words you’re translating are or what the base word of a conjugated word you’re translating is.
