Meet Zuri of the Zeswa!
Tumblr media
I- I don't know if text in na'vi is correct grammatically but translation has a slightly different meaning that's intentional

Awnga lu Sarentu
Na'vi(yä) ayvurit peng
Layro, txur, txopuluke
Lante ka kifkey
Var awnga yivora'
Nìt'iluke emrayey
Awnga lu Sarentu
Eywaru si kit(e)'e
Var awnga yivora'
Nìt'ilukey emrayey
So often I yearn for more songs nìna'vi, so getting a whole new one is very exciting to me and i have to learn it by heart immediately

I cannot believe I never learned the word for forest in Na'vi
Na'rìng
And -vi is a suffix that roughly means "a small part of" (for example, txep=fire & txepvi=spark; vur=story & vurvi=summary; tskxe=rock & tskxevi=pebble; atan=light & atanvi=ray)
So their word for people is literally "a small part of the forest"
I am SO BEHIND on lore
(na'rìng is the only word that starts with "na' " aside from Na'vi)

I've been learning Na'vi and its very fun and I like how its helping me understand both English and Español grammar more by breaking down concepts I've never heard of but use all the time!
Today I learned what subordinators and coodinators are from running into the word "futa" in lì'fya leNa'vi (Na'vi language), which helped me understand in English what words like "because, so that, etc" do and what clauses are more. Even though English is my mother-tongue, understanding how it functions in my own language is helpful to understanding how it's used in other languages, too, and other linguistics concepts related to its function, like the topical case ending in lì'fya leNa'vi (and "topic/comment" oriented languages like lì'fya leNa'vi), and also adpositions that connect clauses like "ulte" and "a".

Yesterday I learned that Español and Na'vi have a similar construction for saying you like something, using an intransitive verb for "to be pleasing" (Esp: "gusta"; N: "sunu").
Because intransitive words do not have "permission" to take on direct objects, "gusta" and "sunu" must turn the subject into its an indirect object form to express that something is pleasing to the subject. Español does this using indirect object pronouns and lì'fya leNa'vi does this using indirect object case endings (because of its "limited free word order").
Esp: Me gusta el sombrero
N: Oeru sunu hawre'
lit. "to me is pleasing the hat" which expresses "to me, the hat is pleasing" or "the hat is pleasing to me".
I struggled initially learning both languages because I didnt understand transivity and objects in linguistics and never understood it in school. But now I'm getting it alot more with my studies and these linguistic breakdowns of sentences and words as systems and symbols.

I believe I've figured out my name from when I was Na'vi. It took some trial and error, but
Oeyä tstxo leNa'vi lu Kxelohikx.
My name in Na'vi is Kxelohikx.
Also, I would request that anyone who speaks Na'vi would refer to me as this name, rather than Wolf when using the language.
Irayo ma eylan, Eywa ngahu <3

I. Can't. Stop. Laughing!
😂😭😂
This is a problem, because i am in work, but since i've been learning the Na'vi language recently as you do, i had to make a peek into the kelutral discord.
Then i saw this one thread.
Then i tried to read some of those tongue twisters.
Now i can't breathe 😂😂😂
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Every wovel is its own silable. The word meoauniaeaoio has 11 silables.
I can't breathe 😂😂😂😂

@anxious7sami gave me a great idea about western frontier clans' dialects/accents and it's sad that it's only my headcanon and we can't actually hear NPCs in game speak na'vi :(
Zeswa
Tumblr media
Starting with my favorite clan! I immediately thought that their kx, px, tx, ts could sound more like Xhosa clicks?? (which makes sense since they are inspired by several African tribes)
youtube
youtube
It makes them sound more loudly and pronounced to communicate on long distances and shout over the howling of the winds. And Zeswa are just loud in general, speaking loud is in their blood and it's making other clans uncomfortable x)
Kame'tire
Tumblr media
Unlike Zeswa, Kame'tire are very soft and quiet, they hide in the fog and are used to almost whisper while talking to each other. They rarely use their full voice. All hard sounds that are in the na'vi language are softened even 'rr sounds more like purring. (cozy :3)
Also they might shorten sentences and words to communicate faster or just to speak less lol
Aranahe
Tumblr media
This might be just my personal view of Aranahe but I can imagine them using a lot of slang and like make up new words all the time just to forget them on the next week?? They have at least twice as many names for colors as it is in other clans. As for pronunciation, I don't think it's very different from other forest clans, except for PASSION! They speak with feelings! Very emotional very open.

A neat tidbit about Na'vi is they have two words for history - one for ancient history and one for more recent events - and these words are derived from 'ok, remembrance, which is related to the verb zerok, to remember.
Because the Na'vi did not have a written version of their language before the sky people came, they preserved history through oral tradition. Their word for more recent history is 'okvur, literally remembrance of stories.
For ancient history, their word is 'okrol, literally remembrance of songs. Music is how they preserve the truly old history and mythos, as no one is left who remembers it by rote, but melodies last much longer.

Last night while studying verb tense and aspect infixes lì'fya leNa'vi, I learned that there are more than 3 verb tenses possible in languages, and that some languages, including a major language like Chinese, dont distinguish tense for the past because they only have future and nonfuture tenses.
Unfortunately, I didnt get much information from wikipedia about nonfuture tenses as the page is mainly a stub and is not extensive. I hope to learn more about this tense (and its counterpart, nonpast tenses)!
