Na'vi Language

[Zarrin]

So as we all know, the Na'vi have their own very intricate language. There is only a moderate amount on the web about how to speak it or what it entails, meaning all of the grammar and words and phrases, but the information database is growing every day! So to keep everyone from having to do a ton of web searches for Na'vi language, I figured we could keep our own database here of what everyone knows. Below will be listed the Na'vi phrases, words, etc. alongside their translations. If you find something new that isn't listed, make a post with it so that it can be added. (:

Thank you for the links and help with the language, now i will be talking in na'vi in no time and will be able to confuse my friends and family

[Zarrin]

Haha, no problem. And good luck with that. For now I'll probably be using complete phrases that are already conjugated, etc., on other sites or just slapping individual words together to form my sentences. I would really have to study and understand the Na'vi language to be able to speak and type it fluently...
