Grammar:
1) Describing a Noun - [Adjective + "Small Adjective" + Other Adjectives
and their small adjectives (Optional)] + [Noun + Article]
Example: Inya'osii ka'rta'tua
Meaning: Our one Fiery Heart
Structure: Inya corresponds to the adjective "fiery" thats describing
the heart (ka'rta). Since theres one heart, osii is added onto the first adjective.
If there were other adjectives they would be added on after that. Small adjectives
consist primarily of quantity or color. Since the sentence speaks of "our
heart", the article is tacked onto "ka'rta" as it comes BEFORE
the noun in syntax. If it became AFTER, then it would be added on before the
word "ka". Hence "Heart of our" would be rta’ka. Articles
are always seperated by an apostrophe, and remember to take it literally in
translation (Our Heart opposed to Heart of Our)
2) Direct Objects/Indirect Objects - [D.O.] + [Adjective + "Small Adjective"]
+ [Article + Noun] + [Subject + Verb] + [Indirect Object]
This is the basic of a complete sentence involving Direct and Indirect objects
aside from other nouns or the subject and verb usage. Correct article usage
and verb conjugation applies here. If for example your D.O. is Coruscant in
the sentence "We, the wrath of Coruscant" in Mandalorian that would
be "Coruscanta a’den mhi (katr’an)". The Direct object
is always placed first to show emphasis. The indirect object is always placed
last. An article -only ever- comes after a noun, if and only if its a simple
sentence or phrase. If it doesn't have a verb, (hence its a phrase), an article
can come after the noun. If it doesn't have either a direct or indirect, or
both objects then it comes after the noune. But if its a complete sentence,
it comes before the noun.
3) Articles and Verbs - Articles do NOT get attached to verbs, only to nouns
and the subject (if applicable)
PHRASES
"Aruetyc runi solus cet o'r" - "Every last traitorous soul shall
kneel"
Solus obviously is soul..o'ir again is shall, cet most likely is kneel, and runi being traitorous. But Aruetyc...quite possibly is "Aruet", "every", whiile "last" is a tack on? But then why is o'r by itself this time? Perhaps it has to do something with Direct and Indirect Objects...*shivers*. For now though, "aruet" could mean "every", while the words "yc" (last) and "o'r" (shall) are only tacked on if the subject is relating to them (in this sentence, the subject are the tratious souls)
And...
"Motir ca'tra nau tracinya" - "Those who stand before us light the night sky in flame"
Toughie. I believe we can get "Caar" (To light) and "Motir" (To Stand, our first "IR" verb) out of this. Nau may very well mean "before" with the us implied. Ca'tra is definately in another tense than i know of (most likely involves third person, informal...such as a "you all"So literally this sentence can be read as:
"To stand before us
light the night sky in flame"
Those would be implied by the verb ending "tra"...as thats also the
subject...but Tracinya and "the night sky in flame" is the biggest
mystery of all. Could it be: Trac = Night Skiy, inya = in flame. With such words
being compounded? (so in = in, flame = ya...but all together, they are compounded
for a much more lucid word)
Mhi dralshy'an tracrah nau inyas! - "We Burn the night sky with our flames"
Mhi alabanz'an a'su, a 'Almighty Nuna'! - "We praise him, the Almighty Nuna!"
[Adjective + Number] + [Noun + Article/Pronound(whatever you may call it)]
Inya'osii Ka'rta'tua - Inya is "flames, fire, fiery"...Osii is "one"...Ka'rta
is "heart"...'tua is the the "our"....So far, this basic
sentence structure really fits the lyrics... "Our one Fiery Heart"
"Nau vak'to, dralshye'raj" - Before I go, you will all burn.
"Ne, ne katr'to. Kadi" - No, I'm not. Goodbye.
Se Tras'ti sa! - I will own you.
"Aruetyc runi solus
cet o'r" - means Every last traitorous soul shall kneel
"Aruetyc runi trattok'o" - means Every last traitorous soul shall
fall

Galaxies Forums. Very nicely done if I do say so myself. These words were taken
from some Mandalorian songs that have been put in books.
