How to translate deal, pledge, promise, vow
Choose the way of translating this concept based on the meaning you're trying to get across. Modify these as appropriate for the situation (who's involved, the action being promised, to whom it's being promised). Because Mandos rarely use tenses, some dialects promote that adding ven (will) in front a verb is similar to turning that verb into a promise of or commitment to a future action. For some of these options, multiple possible translations are given. If providing a translation in fiction or a post, you only need to include one.
Note that Mando'ade take their promises and contracts seriously. If a Mando says they'll do something, it will get done.
