I'll make a man out of you

Post by Illuminatus »

I hope most of you watched "Mulan", so how do you say that term in your conlang(s)?

I'll make a man out of you.

I'll make a man out of you.

I used other expressions in my translations of the whole song.

I'll make you become a man

A more literal translation:

hara oyama hake
hara o-yama ha-ke
man 1s.A-make 2-INST
I'll make a man out of you. (lit. "using you as raw materials", hara oyama yina ke "I'll make a man out of wood")

/ˈæhtɪðnu ˈhentæ su min/
[ˈæɦdɪðnu ˈɦendæ zu min]
make-1.NPST-VOL man-TRANSL 2s.ACC 1s
I'll make you into a man

Not sure I like the directness of that translation, so here's an alternative:

Ähtidnw myn, te eydäst hentä sy.
Ähti-th-nw myn te eydä-st hen-tä sy
/ˈæhtɪðnu min te ˈejðæst ˈhentæ si/
[ˈæɦdɪðnu min de ˈʔejðæst ˈhendæ zi]
cause-1.NPST-VOL 1s that be-2.NPST-VOL man-TRANSL 2s
I will cause that you become a man

The second version fits the tune better too, if you kinda slur ähtidnw!

The "I" in the sentence is assumed. It's just another causative construction, i guess that phrase just asks for it.

BEN = Benefactive
COP = Copula
INCH = Inchoative
CAUS = Causative

Òdra sija praxèso.

I'll make a man out of you.

Pretty normal [;)] Atlántiqa stuff: òdra is from ἄνδρα, sija is from σοί διά (use of the dative with διά is an innovation) and praxèso is an innovative future stem with suffix -ès- from πρήσσω.
