New Na'Vi Words.

[KalaKuival]

Yea, i suppose we indeed could use this word as we don't have anything better yet.

[Ni'Alu]

AHHHHHHHH!!! YAAAAAAAAYYY! NEW WORDS!!!!
*rolls on the floor frothing at the mouth in excitement*

[KalaKuival]

Frapo tìng mikyun!

Ayoeru tolìng melì'uti amip:

lì'fyavi - expression, bit of language, n
nafì'u - such, adj

[KalaKuival]

Well, today really is one epic day Right on my birthday we get loads of new words and info!

kew - zero / 0 (and the name of the number symbol)
’eyt - the name of the number symbol “8” (the value is irrelevant)
nayn - the name of the number symbol “9” (the value is irrelevant)
To be used for example in telephone numbers...

Then the trrtxon ...



-taken from learnnavi.org

note that these periods are not fixed with time, instead they are used to describe the current phase of the 24 hour cycle

In the winter in Canada, kaym is likely well over by 5:00 PM. In Spain in summer kaym may not end until 10:00 PM.

also these words:

rewonam - 'yesterday morning', n (stress on final syllable)
rewonay - 'tomorrow morning', n (stress on final syllable)
fìrewon - 'this morning', n

Now a new topic of describing things:

eltur tìtxen si - to be interesting / intriguing, phrs
Tsa’u eltur tìtxen si. (“That’s interesting.”)
Tsavur oeyä eltur tìtxen soli. (“That story intrigued me.”)
Tsavur feyä ayeltur tìtxen soli. (“They found that story interesting.”)
Pxoeri tsavur eltur tìtxen soli. (“The three of us were interested in that story.”)

w•o•u - “to be amazing/fascinating” stative v.(slang)
- If you’re a typical teenage boy:
WOU Neytiri! (“Neytiri is the bomb/awesome!”)
- If you’re a linguist:
Oeru woeiu lì’fya leNa’vi. (“I’m just fascinated by the Na’vi language.”)
How it became to be:

When Jake was new to the Na’vi, he was also new to the Pandoran forest. He couldn’t speak Na'vi and was constantly walking around being continually amazed by Pandora. He said "Whoa!" a lot. While the Na'vi (especially the young people who where hanging on his every word and action) couldn’t know exactly what “Whoa!” was grammatically in English, it was very clear to them that he was “impressed/amazed”. They started using “whoa!” (pronounced in Na’vi as «wo.u» ) more or less as a stative verb. By the time Jake became Toruk Makto, the evolution of “whoa!” to «w•o•u» was etched in the stone of Na’vi youth culture. People much older than Neytiri and Jake may hear the younger folk using it, but they don’t know exactly what it means. Compare ’Rrtan grandparents understadning how a cellphone app can be “sick”. They basically don’t. At all. Enjoy.

alo - time / turn / instance, n
fralo - each time, every time, n
Alo amrr poan polawm, slä fralo poe poltxe san kehe.*
"He asked five times, but each time she said, 'no.'"
*If the quoted speech ends the utterance, the final sìk is optional.

maweypeyyu - the one who is patient, n
nìmwey - calmly, peacefully, adj (Hivahaw nìmwey)

and finally some epicness:

ku’up - heavy (physical weight), adj
syo - light, lightweight, adj
hay - next, adj
ham - last, previous, adj

My comments

To this post i put only word related things. Someone may make a lesson () for the grammar.
I'll give a link too, cuz there really is much to read:

Txe'lanit Hivawl...

I just had a chance to glance through the Survival Guide and thought it was mentioned in there. It's a multi phrase description and I saw the word Eywa in the middle. I didn't have the money to buy it right now so I had to scan through it and put it back on the shelf
Now I know there are others out there that have that book, so if you could see if I'm remembering correctly please?

[KalaKuival]

I think there indeed was somekinda sentence for that word...

Unfortionatly I don't have the book here with me, but whatever it is, it is not Frommerian and I'm pretty positive that it contains illegal words. Frommer was not consulted about the names of the things and tools we see there (exept for flora and fauna + the list of words in the end).

Ayoe kivin maweypey taweyk poanìl set ke fìtxan krrìt ke latsu.
