So is there such a list if so it would be awesome instead of trying to fish for every adjective there could be such as It in it's many forms its, it's etc.

So anyone? If not can at least someone tell me what is the Na'vi equivalent for It again?

I suggest Taronyu's Categorized Dictionary. It has a section listing all currently known adjectives, and equivalent sections for every other type of word.
Na'vi for "it" is tsa, often used together with one of 'u, kem, krr or tseng (among others).

Tsa'u --> It is a tall tree
Tsakem --> It is not clever to run into a wall
Tsakrr --> It is time to hunt (although that might be slightly idiomatic)
Tsatseng --> It is our land

I'm not sure if tsa can be used by itself.

Thanks I wish it was easier to get this words. If you or anyone know the equivalent for Mine, Yours etc I'd appreciate it..

Just put the genitive after the needed pronoun:
Oeyä, ngeyä, etc.
"Hrrap rä'ä si olo'ur smuktuä." ; "Ke'u ke lu ngay. Frakemit tung." (Assassin's Creed)

The genitives give the forms for my and your, possibly not mine and yours.

Given the construction for have "lu [possessed] [possessor]-DAT" I think that the words for mine and yours are more likely to be the dative forms but you might have to use a relative clause.

Examples:

1. This spear is mine -> lu fìtukru oer(u)
2. She prefers the bow that is hers -> nulnew foe tsko a lu foer(u) OR nulnew foe tsko foeyä.

I know that this is probably in the wrong thread, but i think it goes well with the link at the top.  I would really like if they were to make a English to Na'vi dicitonary since half the time I have no idea what i'm looking for if I'm trying to translate something(such as poems i'm doing for my english class<The teacher is encouraging me to learn Na'vi :)>)

You should be able to get something similar using Ctrl+F and searching but if not, Taronyu did have a dictionary that went that way, he might still have it if you PM him.
