Another thing avatar taught me is to truly mean what i say (don't ask me how haha i have a reason just can't think of it at the moment...) but if someone here says something that truly relates to me or i completely understand them i use it... Plus also the na'vi use it as a greeting, but since they live in clans, they know everyone else very well

What also astounds yours truly about the na'vi term is that it has no gender, or particular level of social status attached to it... but 'oel ngati kameie' transcends far beyond 'understanding' into a level that for me, personally, is not even acknowledgeable in the slightest. I've said 'oel ngati kameie' to very few people. And all of them were within or part of the 'avatar forums' or 'tree of souls' community... However not before they have my 100% trust. 'oel ngati kameie' portrays a level of devotion that is strictly not understandable to anyone who does not see the world for what it really is- because in the end, all that we have is eachother. 'oel ngati kameie' is acknowledging the above fact, and almost thanking the person for being on the same priority of mind-set as you. You see, my dear reader, the problem with current humanity is that we over-look the fact that marriage is nothing more than a physical ceremony. Man's attempt to give physical proof to others that 'these two people are now together'. While as 'oel ngati kameie' bypasses that idea altogether. In my.. Very bias and probably very deluded opinion. Marriage shouldn't even exist - it's just another pathetic attempt by man to try and make a physical pact. It's almost like valentines day. Why show that you're together on one specific day, should the amount of time you spend defending eachother not over-rule any ceremony.... Where you're technically not doing anything for eachother at all. It's almost sad to think that the human race sticks by old principles in this case. We need to accept that words cannot portray everything. Certain members of the human race are at this level of realisation. Because of the fact that na'vi is not a written language. 'oel ngati kameie''s original creation must of been based purely upon a sound, that meant complete understanding of the situation at hand... Like many other phrases of the na'vi language... 'oel ngati kameie' simply cannot be described with words... That night under the stars with your soul-mate, where she's using your arm as a pillow, and snuggling up to you. Your body warm keeping eachother snug. And from her voicebox, the most meaningful words in reality grace your ear. 'i see you'. You then my friend, are one of the few beings within lightyears, that's felt true love within your soul.

I have the exact same principle. I never wanted marriage for different reasons, but marriage really is a loose term and can be seen more of as a joke. The rest of your paragraph is some that is relatable, truthful, and touching to me. It's kind of hard to find them people, guy or girl alike...
