Re: Huttese

Watto:
Hi chuba da nago?
(What do you want?)

Peedunkel! Naba dee unko.
(Boy, get in here.  Now!)

Coona tee-tocky malia?
(What took you so long?)

Anakin
Mel tassa cho-passa...
(I was cleaning the bin like you...)

Watto
Chut-Chut! Ganda doe wallya.
(Never mind! Watch the store.)
Me dwana no bata.
(I've got some selling to do here.)

Watto
Ootmians! Tinka me chasa hopoe ma booty na nolia.
(Outlanders! They think because we live so far from the center, we don't
know nothing.)

Tinka = think?
Note that me appears to be the 1pl, or perhaps me-chasa?

Anakin
La lova num botaffa.
(They seemed nice to me.)

Watto
Fweepa niaga. Tolpa da bunky dunko.
(Clean the racks, then you can go home)

Fweepa = cleap < sweep?
bunky = home < bunk

Sebulba
Chuba!!
(You!!)

Sebulba
Ni chuba na??
(Is this yours??)

Anakin
Chess ko, Sebulba... Coo wolpa tooney rana.
(Careful Sebulba... This one's very well connected)

Sebulba
Tooney rana nu pratta dunko, shag.
(Connected? Whada you mean, slave?)
Tonney rana = [well] connected?

Anakin
Oh da Hutt... cha porko ootman geesa... me teesa rodda co pana pee choppa
chawa.
(As in Hutt... big time outlander, this one... I'd hate to see you diced
before we race again.)

porko = bigtime? choppa = diced? The latter is probably not right, since
chawa is 'race.'


Sebulba
Neek me chawa, wermo, mo killee ma klounkee.
(Next time we race, wermo, it will be the end of you)

Neek = next?
Here we see that me is in fact the 1s and 1pl.

Sebulba
Una notu wo shag, me wompity du pom pom.
(If you weren't a slave, I'd squash you right now.)
me wompity du pom-pom. I whomp you now.

Anakin
Eh, chee bana do mullee ra.
(Yeah, it'd be a pity if you had to pay for me.)

Watto
Bonapa keesa pateeso, o wanna meetee chobodd.
(Better stop your friend's betting, or I'll end up owning him, too.)

Sebulba
Bazda wahota, shag. Dobiellia Nok. Yoka to Bantha poodoo.
(You won't walk away from this one, slave scum!  You're Bantha poodoo.)

Anakin
Cha skrunee da pat, sleemo.
(Don't count on it, slime-ball.)
sleemo = slimeball.
