Have i understood the use of "txo"?

[Tsamsiyu92]

Is this correct?

Txo ngal ayfalulukanit teraron nga lekeye'ung lu.
If you are hunting thanators, you are crazy.

or is this correct...
Nga lu lekeye'ung txo ngal ayfalulukanit teraron.
You are crazy if you are hunting thanators.

I think they're both correct.

You might want a subjunctive in the "you are crazy" clause (to make it "you would be crazy") although that's probably just preference.

I'd say they're both correct as well.  You might want to consider throwing in a tsakrr (then) between teraron and nga, but I think at this point that's a preference thing also.

One thing though, you're using "crazy" as an adjective in both sentences so it should be lekye'ung not lekeye'ung.

I don't think that would be correct. tsakrr is a temporal location, the "then" we would need here is a conjunction. While the two are often the same word, I don't think they are in Na'vi, since tsakrr so obviously refers to a time, rather than a condition.

Good spot on the crazy.

I have to agree with carborundum though that tsakrr would be inappropriate. a talun or taluna would be the closest but, if you try putting them in, they don't look right with the txo so I'd say they don't need anything.

YAY! finally I have understood.

Another question. As i was playing through the single player as Na'vi for the 3rd time on the Avatar game, I noticed that one of they said Ni'awve mokri as first voice. Doesn't the ni- prefix make it an adverb. It's the first voice, not "firstly voice" she is saying.

Wouldn't "'awvea mokri" mean "the first voice"?

Ironically enough, the Na'vi on that game do not speak their mother tongue any good at all.lol.

[kewnya txamew'itan]

I have to agree with you on both points. 'awvea mokri would be more accurate but, given the abysmal pronunciation of the voice actors I expect Frommer was given little input and so they just went through a list of words he gave them and did a word for word, they must have seen nì'awve and not have bothered to learn that nì- makes adverbs.

i thought a thanator was a palulukan....

[Niwantaw]

ayfalulukan is the plural
i think

Point taken, suggestion rescinded.  I would so very much like some more "boring" words.
