Oel ngaru kameie! Greetings in Forest Na'vi ˖˚⊹ ꣑ৎ‎

Oel ngaru kameie! Greetings and Pronouns in Forest Na'vi ˖˚⊹ ꣑ৎ‎

⤷ ゛ author's noteˎˊ˗

   welcome to the most autistic thing i'm gonna be doing in my entire life. for the sake of making a good lesson i'll do proper punctuation while i'm doing these. today!! greetings and pronouns, will a trumper get offended? we'll see

   technically this is just me transcribing my notes for you all to read

For our first lesson I thought it might be best to start with some common greetings and basic conversational phrases, also pronouns.
That said, you need to know how Na'vi sounds before you read it so!

This channel - Na'vi as a Second Language - has some good pronunciation videos, and Kelutral is an excellent place to start. you'll also need to know how words are made in Na'vi - HERE - to properly understand the emphasis in words, signified like this.


Have you read it? Teri lìʼfya leNaʼvi nume.
