I would imagine, with the limited vocabulary we have at the moment, you'd have to say something like... Zìsìt-yä sngä'ikrr a-le-fpom ngaru leiu!Year-GEN beginning ATTR-ADJ-well.being you-DAT be<LAUD>! Lit: Year's beginning of well-being toward you be! (Yay!). Happy beginning of the year to you!  But, since the "to you" part is unsaid and understood in the English "Happy New Year!" I suppose you could just say: Zìsìtyä sngä'ikrr alefpom! |

Irayo, smukan!
Who knows, maybe it's the first time, when these words were said in Na'vi!

I was thinking a more simple version: Sngä'i zìsìt nìsìltsanBegin year well. |

Now trying to say that is a different accomplishment. |

Very nice translation!
Could you just explain a-le-fpom (ATTR-ADJ-well.being) to me?

sngä'ikrr a-le-fpom
Adding le before a noun makes it an adjective therefore fpom (well being) becomes an adjective le-fpom almost an "of well being" Adding a to an adjective shows the noun it modifies, it always goes on the side closest the noun. a-le-fpom means it is modifying the word before it sngä'ikrr. Beginning time of well bell being.- I hope I helped, took me some time to decipher it myself. |

Sngä'i zìsìt nìsìltsan! Happy New Year to everyone! At this time, I want to thank Cameron, to make all this possible. He is the king of his world he created. And I give the scepter to him. I take my hat off to you, James! Now I'm off, see you in 2010!  |
