Oh, that's fine. I'd be a bit hypocritic if I couldn't forgive you that much.

Ooooh, try this one: copa'banar. What you intend is what you want to happen, so... combine "want" and "happen" and you get copa'banar. It's an idea, anyway.

i suppose it could, but a real mando wouldn't let his (or her, of course) fall into such a state if he could help it.

I hadn't thought about it like that. I'm trying to get the hang of the language, but it's tricky.

thanks.

Although I'm still curious that I haven't found the translation for "are".
as in: "There are 10 of us and only 2 of you."

I'm working on Mandalorian dialog for a Fan comic I'm working on in my spare time and it's proving to be a daunting task to translate.

You must remember, however, that the word "are" is merely an English conjugation of the verb 'to be'. Since mando'a only has two verb conjugations, cuyir applies to all, usually in the form of 'cuy'.
So basically, instead of 'I-am', 'you-are', and 'it-is',
mando'ad just always say 'I-be', 'you-be', and 'it-be'. So your sentence would translate thus:
"Ogir cuy ta'reysh b'mhi bal sha t'ad b'gar.", ...at least, that's the closest I can come up with. Probably a bunch of grammar mistakes, but that's what makes it fun. Hope that helps.
