"I'm not bothered" in Na'vi

[KalaKuival]

In Estonian there is a kinda funny expression "Ma ei viitsi" which could be translated to "I'm not bothered", "I don't feel like "doing something" or "I don't have the will (to do something)"
It may be used in various occasions. Example: A friend asks you to go to the movies with him, you refuse. When you are asked the reason you may simply reply "Ma ei viitsi".

This is actually not an excuse. It may end the conversation but most likely the question "why?" follows, when repeating the same the other side may understand that you have something else to do or that you are really not bothered. But sometimes it's not enough and you must come up with a better excuse, for ex. I need to study etc.

But it also fits for just blocking a person, when you don't want to discuss something or deal with him at that moment...

I think it would be pretty cool to have this in Na'vi language...  Request: "Oeyä Ikran slivu nga, tsakrr oeng 'awsiteng mivakto." reply: "I'm not bothered"  
(and I'm not asking for literal translation, but unique Na'vi expression)

What are the functions of the individual words in "Ma ei viitsi"?
Swedish has something very similar; the verb "orka". It's used in the exact same situations you describe; if I for whatever reason don't want do something, but I don't want to give a specific reason, I can say "jag orkar inte". It's pretty useful, so I second the idea that it would be cool to have in Na'vi.

In Spanish it is "No tengo ganas" (I don't feel like doing something).

In German it is "Ich hab(e) keine Lust" (I don't have the desire (to do this)).

['eylan na'viyä]

In German there is: "Ich hab(e) (gerade) keinen Bock (darauf)"
i dont know if this covers the the complete concept.

it means something like "im not in the mood" but it can also slightly imply that i generaly dont like the idea

There's also idas: "Jag ids inte". (basically "I can't bring myself to [...], because I'm too lazy/tired/unmotivated")

(Or, as we say around these parts, "je örsk int" or "je ha int stånnan". )

Something Neytiri could have said when Mo'at told her to teach Jake their culture - yeah! I'm all for it

But, what *did* she say. Do we have something like "Damn it" ...

You may not like swearwords, but at least I think, even a Na'vi will spit out a special word or so, in case he e. g. cuts himself accidentely with a knife or unintentionally let a heavy thing fall out of his hands hitting his foot. There must be something to express the meaning of "sh**!"
