Kaltxì ma tsmukan!!, I have been away for a long, long time, due to various rl issues, the other day I watched avatar again, and I felt that same feeling I had when I had watched it for the first time, then remembered all the great fun I had learning navi, so now I'm back. I hope to carry on learning some vocabulary, I still member almost all the grammar and around 100 words, only 400 to go, hehe. anyway theat time I was online, was around march, so if any major grammar updates have occured please inform me

welcome back  ;D
i don't know if you've been studying with the Na'vi in nutshell before, if you haven't than do that now... i think that it's the best way to learn grammar alone... if you wanna learn in a group check a NgayNume... it's great  :D

Also, you probably mean smukan (brothers) or, better, smuk (siblings - there are some sisters on this forum too!) - tsmukan means brother (in the singular).

If you've forgotten about Na'vi plurals rather than that just being a slip-up, and/or want to read about new developments since you left, read Na'vi in a Nutshell, which is now THE definitive guide to Na'vi grammar. It can be downloaded from "Your Projects/Other Resources --> Learning Resources --> Na'vi in a Nutshell" in the forum, or from the downloads page of the main site itself (the rest of which is mostly useless).

For a dictionary you'll want Taronyu's, which is in "Intermediate --> Our Dictionary", or again, on the download page. The vocab list on the LN page itself is rubbish and old.

The vocabulary is closer to 1000 words now.  And yeah there's been quite a few new things we've learned about the grammar.  Na'vi in a Nutshell and the wikibooks Na'vi book are probably the best two places to learn about the grammar.  Going over just the new stuff would probably be too complicated, as there's been quite a bit.
