Nìprrte'! Just two little things here:

1) Topic goes first, then the comment goes second.
2) Typo of Iknimaya

Sìltsana sänumviri irayo nìtxan.

Set oel omum futa Iknimaya ke lu tseng.

The usual way to say "it rains", "It's raining" etc is like this:

Zup tompa fitrr.
Rain falls today
"It rains today"
(Depending on context: "it is raining today", "it rained today", "it will rain today")

If you want to explicitly express that this is already complete, add <ol> to zup:

Zolup tompa fitrr.
Rain fell today.
"It rained today"

Fìtsengeri taw lu lepwopx ulte ya lu sang slä wew nì'it.
Here the sky is cloudy and the air is warm but a little cold.

Wind12 08-11-2014 08:52 PM

Irayo nìtxan!!

Set, Oe zene tìkangkem sivi.
"Now, I must go to work."

Wind12 08-13-2014 05:54 AM

Oel zene wivan mì 'ewllti, furia Tsyeykru lu sti taluna Oeru ke tok poyä säftxulì'u.
"I must hide in plant, for this that is, Jake is angry for me not being at his speech."
"I must hide in a plant because Jake is mad at me for missing his speech."

Oe zene wäpivan mì ewll, taluna Tsyeyk sti taluna oel ke tok peyä säftxulì'ut

Nice one! A more complex one, this is. :)

Some tips:

1) zene is vim. so can't be used with -l and -t. Oe zene.
2) wan is vtr. and means to hide [something]. To hide yourself, use <äp> infix: Oe wäpan = I hide (myself).
3) mì causes change in the next word. 'ewll, mì ewll. (' goes away)
4) taluna would be better than furia in this case
5) if furia were to be used, the sentence would be in this form: {furia [topic]},{comment}
6) sti is a verb already, but you used it like a noun. Sti already means "am/is/are angry". it works like this: Oe sti. = I'm angry. Tsyeyk sti. = Jake is angry.
7) see my previous posts about how tok works
8) po + -yä = peyä. All the pronouns like oe, nga, po, etc. all end in -eyä when -yä is put on. oeyä, ngeyä, peyä

Sìlpey oe, oe ngaru srung soli.
I hope, I helped you.

Irayo nìtxan ma tsmukan, I thought about just using two "becauses" but I didn't know if that would have been much :) :) It took me a half hour to make that, HRH.

Nah, it's not too much to use because twice. There's not much that would be considered too much. :)

Hey, it's a pretty complicated sentence. The more sentences you make, the more you get used to it, and it takes less and less time. :)

Wind12 08-15-2014 04:24 AM

Pehrr lu Iknimaya? Oe zene tskxekeng sivi.
When is Iknimaya? I must train.

Wind12 08-15-2014 05:35 AM

Tsyeyk new Oeru lu nì'ul'ul txur.
Jake wants me to get stronger.

Po si oel nìtsyìl vola 'anat
"He made me climb 8 vines."

close!

Tsyeykìl new futa oe livu nì'ul'ul txur.
Jake wants this: I be increasingly strong.
"Jake wants me to be more and more strong."

Pol oeru tsyeykìl vola 'anat.
He me makes-climb 8 vines.

Does it make sense what I did there? :)

tip about "si": you generally can't use it except in pre-defined words such as srung si, irayo si, tìkangkem si, etc.
This sense of "make <someone> <do something>" is actually done with the infix <eyk>. Have I made a blog post about that yet? If not, I definitely should, and will. EDIT: Writing up a draft now.

Here's a crazy one I dug up from an old update post on the Learn Na'vi forums:

Tsawa ngal kawkrr sngelit ke munge wrrpane ulte nìtut zene
ätxäle sirvängi ngar oe, steyki fìtxan fte keng ke tsivun tsawteri
fpivìl luke fwa sngä'i tsngivawvìk.

“Your never taking out the trash and my having to constantly ask
you to do it makes me so angry that I can’t even think about it
without starting to cry.”

Wind12 08-15-2014 07:08 AM
