Where's the medic?  I am injured, my arm is numb and my hand is broken.  My brother is wounded.  He is white and his chest is bloody.  He was hit by the enemy, and is in pain.


Vaii [cuy] baar'ur?  Ni [cuy] shupur'yc, ner irud [cuy] jaal bal ner gaan [cuy] shukur'yc.  Ner vod [cuy] kadala.  Kaysh [cuy] jiriad bal kaysh haalas [cuy] taylc.  Kaysh ru nynir de te aru'e, bal [cuy] o'r aaray.


Vaii baar'ur?  Ni shupur'yc, ner irud jaal bal ner gaan shukur'yc.  Ner vod kadala.  Kaysh jiriad bal kaysh haalas taylc.  Kaysh ru nynir de te aru'e, bal o'r aaray.



Note:  according to Karen Traviss grammar notes, the verb Cuyir is often dropped, and is indicated by word order.  I've left it in the first time to get the idea of how the sentence is made (mostly for me – I'm slow) and taken it out in the second, to show how it would actually be said/written in real Mando'a.
Standard Disclaimers apply:

*Mando’a is created by Karen Traviss for Star Wars
*This is all the property of LucasArts
*All this information (and more) can be found at KT’s webpage (and obviously at many SW ones) – I am just trying to teach myself this language the way it would be taught in a classroom (just sitting and reading the dictionary does me no good)
*Mando’a is an uncompleted language, and therefore these lessons will not be perfect
*At this time I am not adding the phonetics of the words to the lessons – I just don’t have the time right now – maybe I can add those later
*Also I won’t be doing anything with the actual Mando’a alphabet for awhile (just throwing that out there) but I expect I will try to pop it in a bit as future lessons progress


This lesson is a little shorter than the others - sorry, things have been difficult lately. ^_^
