Huttese Speakers Thread

I am quite fluent in what exist of the Huttese dialect, and would like to share this hobby with others. It may seem like I have too much time on my hands (I can read Aurabesh too), but this is a very rewarding hobby, and quite fun. If any of you would like to learn Huttese, I'll help you out. If you know how to speak it already, post your replies in Huttese, just for a bit of fun. If you need any help learning, just PM me and I'll give you a few lessons. for more info, visit The Complete Wermo's Guide to Huttese at http://www.geocities.com/wermosguidetohuttese/huttese101.html. Thank you, and Panwa Do Kyotopa! (enjoy your visit)

 

Kava Sa Chuba, everyone? (what's up?)

 

Konchee sa Mikiyuna? (where is everbody?)

 

poodoo

 

E chu Ta, Koochoo. (Not approriate to translate here)

 

Dobra na Yoka. (just a joke)

 

Doesnt that silver protocol droid say that in ESB?

 

Correct my friend, and a rough translation would be (Go @^%$ yourself) and Koochoo means Idiot, but again i was only kidding.

 

Hehehe

 

Chuba Noleeya? (you interested?)

 

Kikiyuna Lust Du Poodoo? (anyone even give a ^%$#&%?)

 

Well, I'll learn a few words, if that's ok.

 

Well first I'll just teach you some basic pronouns:

I = Jee
You = Chuba or just Uba
We = Jeejee
They = La
Me = Je
Us = Buti
Them = Hooha

 

And a few possesives: My = Ma, Your = Ta, Their = Anka

 

And heres Lesson One of a little thing I'm doing called Conversational Huttese:

Conversational Huttese
Greetings:
Hello 1. Achuta.
Greetings 1. H'chu apenkee. 2. Chut chut. 3. Toogi.
Welcome 1. Chowbasa.  2. Chowbaso.

Conversation Starters:

What?s Up? Haku sa tonka?
What is your home planet? Haku sa do bunky dunko planeeto?
Do you enjoy the Podraces? Uba/Chuba panwa ta Choppa chawa?

Responses:
Yes 1. Tagwa.
Yeah 1. Eh.
No 1. Nobata. 2. Noah.  3. No.
Not bad 1. Nagoola.

Conversation Enders:

Good-bye 1. Mee jewz ku.

 

Ok thanks, so what about common everyday phrases you know?

 

Well I'm working on Lesson 2 but thats what Conversational Huttese is pretty much about. Lesson One should help you out a lot.

 

Just name a few phrases and I'll translate them for you. And I'm also working on a thing where I'm taking several of the most commonly used words in English (or Basic) and translating them into Huttese for everyday use.

 

Like....Dobrah bunky dunko, mikiyuna! is I'm home, everybody!

 

Very interesting, all of this, but I have to ask how can you figure all of this out from only the single film, rotj? Do you have to guess some of the wordsbased on the logistics?

 

Rotj? There are several dozens more sources than that. There Ben Burtt's (the sound designer) books, theres episode 4, theres episode 1, theres video games like bounty hunter with huttese in them.

 

and a little bit of it is based on common sense. Say (and this is not valid) that you don't know what potato means, but you know that potato salad is "fikmunki kena",....then potato is gonna be "fikimunki", obviously, kena being "salad".

 

Oh, ok ok, guess I'm the ignorant one.
Be back for lesson 2
Mee jewz ku.

 

Tah Force Sa Gee Chuba! (the force is with you)

 

Achuta! Haku sa tonka?
Back for lesson 2, since no one else is
