Kxetse!

Please say if I'm writing this good or not good.
I want to know where I make the mistakes.

Kaltxì!

Ha, oe fmi Na'vi si tsatu lu ke ftue.
Slä nga tslam oe srak?
Oe faymi plltxe sìltsan ye'rìn.

So, I try the Na'vi language, and that is not easy!
But you understand me?
I will try to speak good soon (later).


Irayo.

:D Kaltxì!

For the first sentence, i'd say add "to speak", change "sì" to "ulte" ("ulte" connects clauses), "tsatu" to "tsa'u", so:
Ha, oe fmi pivlltxe nìna'vi ulte tsa'u lu ke ftue.
(so, i try to speak like-a-na'vi and that-thing is not easy)

The second is good :D

For the third: i see just one mistake: the infix <ay> is for the future (just for the future...), but you want to say here the near future, so it should be <ìy>:
Oe fìymi pivlltxe asìltsan yerìn.

(okay, so it's not just one... for make a verb be infinitive, add <iv>, and add the prefix/suffix "-a-" to the adjective (here it's "sìltsan") on the side of the word it modifies [for example: blue ikran may be either "eana ikran" or "ikran aean"])

Kxetse!

Okay thanks for the answer.
Here I go again.

Kaltxì!

Ha, oe fmi pivlltxe nìNa'vi ulte tsa'u.  So, I try to speak like a Na'vi and that thing is not easy.
Slä nga tslam oe srak?                    But you understand me?
Oe fìymi pivlltxe asìltsan ye`rìn.        I will try to speak good later.

I think I am understanding the prefix part a bit now. -phew- :D

Soon I'll post a second text here. Just to practice.

Wouldn't the second sentence need ergative and accusative suffixes on nga and oe?

Because in this case, the word "understand" is used transitively.


"Fì'u keye'ung lu!"
"Keye'ung? FÌTSENG. LU. SPA'TAAAAAAA!!!"

Kxetse!

I'm listening.

What do you think is correct, then?  :-\

I'd drop 'so' from the beginning. Using a conjunction to start a sentence is very colloquial and whilst not entirely unique to speakers of English, it's not widespread in all languages.

Edit: and you seem to have lost part of your first line after ulte tsa'u btw.
