Help Us Make A Mando’a Dictionary!

mandowords:

In the MandoWords Discord and on this blog we’ve made a bunch of Mando’a words and now we’re upping up our custom Mando’a words game by letting you submit your own words! 

These words will go through a vetting process done by myself and a few moderators from the Discord server to make sure the words work within the Mando’a grammar rules. Here are the things we will be looking for in submitted words:

• The construction of the word needs to make sense. This means that you must use words that are already established in the Mando’a dictionary. You can cut them up and squish them together, just make sure the meanings of the words you’ve put together to create your new word make sense!
• Pronunciation. Just like on Mandoa.org, your words need to have their pronunciation written next to them. It’s suggested you use the pronunciations from the words used to create this new word.

• Parts of Speech. Is it a noun? Is it a verb? Is it an adjective? We need to know because words may be the same in english but be different in context. In mando’a the words used in the construction of the word make decide what type of word it is.

You can submit your words HERE and we’ll get to adding them as soon as we can. You can see if your word has been approved by our vetting team HERE and you can see the official MandoWords public mando’a dictionary HERE, or by going onto the blog, clicking the “pages” drop down menu and selecting the option for “Public Mando’a Dictionary.”
