[For Beginners] FAQ (Please ask your questions here) - II

[Srungsiyu Ayeylanä]

I want to get started learning Na'vi, but I don't know where to start. I know about all the resources available to help me learn, but where should I begin? Is there a good place for a beginner to start learning or can I just start with anything? Do I focus on common vocabulary? Grammar? Phrases? 

[Tìtstewan]

A good suggestion would be checking the 500 most used Na'vi word vocab at memrise. Then, one could play with the grammar stuff and start to build some sentence.

Okay I MUST figure this out bc it's driving me INSANE. How in na'vi do u day u "was" or "were" going to do something?

What exactly you want to translate?

[Tìtstewan]

Na'vi handles time stuff differently than we do in English. While in English (and some other languages) use verbs in the tense one want to say plus various auxiliary verbs like following example:

  I was eating.

Na'vi doesn't have auxiliary verbs. I Na'vi that sentence is:

  Oe yarmom

Here, the infix <arm> carry the information of "was" or "were" and past tense. (more precisely, past and imperfective aspect)
